As shown, the genetic dream of a blond world is created, in the series of sucos, as he calls them, it is based on a hyper-reality structure that gives them the character of a lie not because it does not exist but because they exist within of the conceptual part of living in the depths of a society of brunettes, utopias of an imported fascism that squeaks in the socio-cultural scaffolding that has taught us where the needy is dark, Latino and grotesque
Long ago that presumptuous idea was that a photographer captures the reality of the moment, which in one way or another became a craved Platonic utopia, giving the photographer a space in that ideal Republic, (since finally the photographer artist does not falsified the truth, by not imitating it badly, like the rest of the artist). In that way, truth and art would once again go hand in hand in a mythical harmony that would summon a natural cosmic order.
