Caption:
At the National Puerto Rican Day Parade on New York City's Fifth Avenue, many spectators found their focus extending beyond the vibrant floats, lively bands, and dynamic dancers. Instead, a notable trend emerged where attendees brought recording devices to capture the moments of those around them, particularly the women passing by. This phenomenon highlights the act of recording as an engagement with the male gaze rather than a celebration of the parade itself. By visually exploring this experience in real time, the photograph invites viewers to reflect on the nature of observation within cultural festivities. Ultimately, it underscores the complex interplay between spectatorship and the spectacle, revealing layers of interaction and attention.
