Title:Housewives This photograph belongs to a series called SPECIES, which is a sociological study in which reality and fantasy get mixed. I decided to build a “catalog of SPECIES” (human one) of the natural park named Albufera. I managed to portrait what I consider to be every representative group of that land. Here we can see “the housewives”. They float on the water. They are really there, standing on plastic boxes . This set has a reason: . The landscape acts as magic background. They belong to it and it belongs to them. And the fact of making 15 groups on unknown people to pose, being themselves, standing on the water, makes the whole process a performance At the same time, these portraits become a document of the people from the rural Spain at the beginning of the XXI century. The style is marked between social document, fantasy dream and social experiment.
