Las Pelilargas #5

This picture is part of my ongoing series "Las Pelilargas' since 2006 where I search for long hair women in Argentina. I search for them everywhere, I travel to forgotten towns I put up signs I organise long hair competitions Till i find them And i always ask them: why do you have long hair? “because i like it, cause my dad looks after it…” but the true reason is invisible and passes from generation to generation its the culture of Latin America, where our ancestors believed that cutting hair was cutting life, that hair is the physical manifestation of our thoughts and our souls.
