Abstract
This essay discusses Stefan Ruiz’s large scale colour photographs; capturing the stars, sets and melodrama of ‘telenovelas’ – Latin American soap operas.This world of beautiful women, handsome men and rags-to-riches stories belies a subtext of social aspiration and entrenched racial hierarchies.
