Ritual Artist: Guillermo Gomez Pena


An interesting aspect of this piece is its public accessibility which allows us to glimpse public reactions to the scene. Gomez Pena is an interesting artist because he challenges the viewer to think critically about his art.  This image represents both cultural exotification and exploitation, a fact that the woman posing for a photo may or may not be conscious of.
