Santiago Sierra Soler, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white photographic portrait captured by Santiago Sierra Soler features an elderly man and a young child posing outdoors. The seated elderly man wears a white tank top and dark trousers with his arms crossed firmly across his chest. Standing beside him on a small stool, the child flexes their arms while wearing a metallic lucha libre wrestling mask and white briefs. The subjects are positioned against a textured stone wall with dark wooden windows and doors in the background. Natural light illuminates the scene, creating strong tonal contrast throughout the composition.
