Adriana Groisman (Photography)

Although tango has come to represent the universal symbol of sensuality and style, its origins stretch back to the poor bordellos of Buenos Aires, to the smoky, dimly-lit ballrooms called milongas. Here, for over a hundred years, a race of night dwellers fueled by alcohol and cigarettes has continued to make its nightly descent into this erotically charged world where power and gender issues, fleeting relationships, alliances, rivalries, and jealousies are played out on the dance floor. 
 
Adriana Groisman has spent over fifteen years photographing this intimate, underground world [source].

My connection to these areas was strengthened by my recollection of my boyhood memories of the pastorial scenes of my native Japan etched in my memory. My memories of the sea, forest, waterfalls and rice fields resonated in monochrome. The existence of the rice field, the staff of life to the Japanese, has had a great effect on the scenery, culture and the sense of morality of the Japanese. However, due to unplanned development forced upon many rural areas of Japan, the beauty and history of over 2000 years of rice harvesting is decreasing every year. Fearing the loss in a few years, I hurriedly began to photograph these areas. The scenery is silent, but the power of the photograph can touch people’s mind and make them recognize the importance of the cultural icon of the rice field.
