“My tribe” corresponds to a 35mm documentary photographic series of an ephemeral group of underprivileged children in Argentina in 2001, looking for methods of subsistence during the economic crisis that hit the country. I met them drifting through the streets aimlessly, but we forged an endless friendship. The police arrived unexpectedly one day and took them away. I never saw them again. I never knew what became of them.

“... I saw them on the corner. They were busy, in that job that consisted in tolerating the refusal and the compunction faces of the obfuscated passers-by. I realized that I had crossed the fourth wall of social acceptance, I was on the other side of the periphery.”
