Alessandra Sanguinetti
USA. Hialeah, FL. 2012. Chris Sullivan, security guard at Romney's campaign office. When I walked into Romney's campaign office in Hialeah, I was directed to Diana who warned me I couldn't photograph without authorization. I explained I wasn't from any media and she softened up a bit, but still wanted to make phone calls about it. Reina, behind the telephone bank table, recognized me from the VP debate event in Coral Gables, and offered a little cup of sweet coffee and winked at Diana.
Everyone there was Hispanic except the tall blonde guy in a dark suit with a gun, who didn't understand a word anybody was saying, and glared from the corner. Of course I wanted to photograph him - he stuck out like a sore thumb -but he made it very clear he didn't want any part of it. So while I photographed everyone else, I'd stop and come back to him and ask "Now? Yes? Please?" but he didn't budge. When I was done and begged for the last time, and insisted I wasn't press, that I have work in museums, his eyes lit up, and said Ok, in honor of his Dad who's in a museum. Turns out his Dad posed for the sculptor Duane Hanson's piece "The Young Worker'. So while his son stands stiffly in the Hialeah campaign office, the image of his Dad stands resting by a wall in the Norton Museum. And they look so much alike.
