In Guatemala, domestic work is mostly done by poor indigenous women. Dressed in
a maid's uniform for a whole month, Regina José Galindo goes about her daily routine under a new identity. In Angelina (2001-2025) Galindo undermines social
boundaries and makes the barriers of gender, class, and race visible thanks to
carrying out her daily routine under a new identity. The photographic
documentation shows Galindo in different settings: a religious procession, a
food and clothing market, an ATM, a restaurant, a bar, working in front of a
computer. Some of these images seem “natural,” while others strike the viewer
as jarring, revealing the classist and racialized nature of certain activities
and environments.
