BABEL (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Paradoxically, living the moment of the greatest technological development in history to communicate each other, it is precisely when we are most isolated.
Babel is the territory of misinformation and confusion due to the overabundance and the sum of spurious interests, the creation of fake news and, especially, the absence of critical thinking and philosophy. The X-ray of a society empty of humanity.
Babel relates us to biblical passages where the god of technology, politics, religions, culture and the economy confused the man who one day dreamed of being God….
Babel speaks of the confusion of modern man, of our disorientation and of the defenselessness of ourselves, because there is no greatest loneliness than missing oneself, than walking without the presence of our own shadow.
AUTHOR
Bachelor’s Degree in ICTs and Advertising from the UPV-EHU, University of the Basque Country. My life has always been linked to photography in one way or another. For me, photography is, above all, a way of escaping from a meretricious creativity, and a way of communicating what I truly feel. A way of leaving aside the advertising objectives and urgent demands to go out and look at the world differently, to discover beauty, those things that really move me and shake me up.
Something allowing me to develop a very personal vision.
