Photographs are documents, but they are also constructions. Not knowing their histories, I’m able to imagine and invent new ones. The challenge of Valeria Street was that I knew one of the men. But I didn't know the situation depicted, or the other people around the *****. I had never witnessed him in a situation like this. He went to work and he came home, and that world of work was a mystery.The photographs were awkward and artificial--a staged documentation or re-creation of what was likely a real *****, some kind of document presentation or signing.
