Présentation

"Homo et Natura is a series born from unease, an unease produced by the deafening noise of smoking reactors of the Solvay petrochemical plant in Martorell (Barcelona), that conditioned the hostile landscape of my childhood. A gigantic network of rusty scrap metal that has been emitting strange fumes 365 days a year since I was born. A metallic presence that, by day, became dirty, grey and vaporous; and by night, a futuristic appearance, radioactively white and mysterious. In the photographs presented there is an anonymous individual who tries to find his bearings in the face of the incomprehension produced by a scenario dehumanized by industry".
