In presenting Caledonio Gallego's vibrantly decorated bedroom, Alex Harris revealed an individual's daily life as well as his human presence. After several months of living and working in a small Hispanic village in northern New Mexico, Harris realized that the photographs he made of his neighbors' vividly decorated living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens were as descriptive of their inhabitants as any conventional portrait. As a result, he began to focus less on the human subject in his photographs and more on the way a lived-in space betrays a specific presence.
