Marcela Angeles Macedo
Carlos C. Flores, Venice Beach CA, I wish I was rich, Carlos, March 2013. I WISH I WAS. People live their lives thinking about what or who they could´ve been. Some of them pursue their desires and maybe they will accomplish great things, but others will dream about them forever and will have to accept who they are.
By using an instant camera, Marcela Angeles took portraits of people from different backgrounds. Strangers in the street revealed their most private desires and wrote them down, some of them with a smile, and some of them with nostalgia. For the first time the images not only show the reality of the people in them, but also, a world that they are still not part of, but they wish they were. Are you living the life you want to live?
