Description

“At home, I would always linger to stare at an old photograph of some of my Andalusian relatives. Over the years this photograph has given me an image of how I think Andalusia might be.

SW is the result of approximately three years of research in the south of Spain, an area I did not know and where I have never lived, but which is my family’s place of origin and their current place of residence.

To travel through Andalusia now that the global world has left its mark everywhere, even here, led me to reflect on the clash between contradictory elements in this land, that appears to hang in a balance between reality and fiction and that, wherever we go, lingers like the background of a film.” Alvaro Deprit
