Frank Pimentel's images of 'One Room Dwellings' provide a commentary on people's lives and their place in the society. The portraits of people in their homes, surrounded by objects that define their daily life, their aspirations or dreams, seem first straightforwardly objective. Nevertheless, the political content in these images is not accidentally delivered by the camera lens. Pimentel is not merely an eye behind the camera; rather than sentimental longings, the artist offers his audience a critical and at the same time understanding view of human condition.
