A gypsy life: The Salazar family

"My interest in approaching the gypsies was exactly that. I mean there's a lot of clichés about the Gypsies. In the Spanish culture, I mean we live with them and they're part of our society, but they have never been integrated. So Gypsies have, you know, tags. Like people would talk about them as thieves or people you can't trust. So most of the time when I choose a project like that it's because I wanna see what's behind those stereotypes. The family I've worked with for five years don't respond to those stereotypes at all. They're actually you know, very beautiful, amazing people, that every time I go to a home, takes care of me. You know, they're sort of like me. It's not a money-based religion at all, which you know, that's part of … They're mostly nomad, merchants, vendors. That's what they know, that's their culture. So they're always buy and sell, buy and sell. So it's very hard to have a relationship with them, you know. But it's not about that."
