life lost in reverie

Ramiro Gomez
Interruptions, 2011 - Ongoing

Re-appropriating the pages of consumer magazines like Luxe and ArHaus, Gomez reclaims the picturesque environments presented in these publications to their rightful caretakers - the Latino workforce employed throughout the various affluent Los Angeles neighborhoods. Drawing from his observations as a live-in nanny, Gomez portrays candid glimpses into an otherwise unseen and overlooked moment of change.

The figures presented in the series are intentionally ambiguous and are named after the numerous workers encountered on-site by Gomez.

Midway City, Orange County. The false credence that all is well behind the orange curtain couldn’t be further from the truth. Far removed from the sterility of Irvine and the sand covered beaches of Laguna live a multitude of people living in the crevices of those communities. Often forgotten, these people find themselves living in a colorful juxtaposition materialized by socioeconomics and one dimensional politics. In a society that prefers for the unkempt to be unseen, well, look a little deeper.
