Comment

The locations for this sensitive engagement with the world of his own origins are two poor districts of Medina del Campo near Valladolid, where the artist was born in 1955. There he was permitted to take photos in the houses of poor people, who in the financial crisis lost not only their jobs and their social security but in some cases even their dignity.
(Maria Rennhofer in EIKON #92, 29)

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.” Chinese Proverb. 
What can we do? This question forms the fundamental body of the project, though adding a synthesis: possibly the actions that we can undertake to set-up a sustainable civilization must be linked to our intimate feelings and thoughts, those territories of creative and affective thinking, charged with energy and of very difficult destruction. We know what the territories close to belongings can give of themselves, as well as the impersonation of the states of mind for consumption; thus, let us try with affections because we have no other choice, The Intimate Subversion.
(Ángel Marcos)
