Teens and Tango, La Boca 2006


I love this image! The Tango is, of course, being danced for tourists; the local teenagers are totally ignoring both the dancer and the photographer, yet one is wearing a tourist t-shirt (I heart Argentina). And the post was just there, conveniently dividing the image and representing the fading paint in the non-tourist areas of La Boca. For me, this juxtaposition of contradictions and the complicated economic layering typifies contemporary Buenos Aires.
