Incongruity, Cuenca, Ecuador, 2011

I have no idea if the concept behind the incongruous big splash painted on the wall around the door to this Cuenca club was the idea of a graffiti artist or the club itself. It seemed even more incongruous when the club was shuttered, as it was here. The splash is full of exuberance, daring the visitor to enter, while the steel shutter is grimly restrictive. To move the image to still another level of incongruity, I envisioned an oblivious pedestrian framed within the shuttered splash. I watched and waited, and when this woman, carrying her child on her back and wearing pink sweat pants, trundled past with a pushcart full of treats, I had what I wanted.
