As I began photographing the shadows cast by the neon tubing attached to the side of this Tango Club, a woman walked into my frame and lifted both arms to her head, as if she was dancing the Tango. I pressed the shutter release at that instant, capturing her with her arms frozen on the back of her head, leg bent forward, head down. Is she dancing? Or is she just fixing her hair? We’ll never know. When I later studied the details of this photo on my computer, I was astonished to see that the advertising photograph featured within the sign at right shows the head and arms of another woman in the very same pose. These congruities and incongruities turn a Buenos Aires street shot into a thematic image worthy of close study. Light and shadow combine to give this image its context and intensify its meaning – abstracting the woman by shadowing her face and body, creating a dark stage for her to dance upon, and illuminating a background filled with mysterious detail.
