Elephant, is a documentary project that reflects on the idea of home.
It is an attempt to capture the feelings of a group of young people
living in Inville Street, South London, whose building will soon be
demolished as part of the city's Rebuilding Plan for the Elephant &
Castle area. Aged between 14-20 years old and with different ethnic
backrounds, these kids share not only a childhood together but a
particular kind of pride and a particular kind of strenght; a
collective sense of belonging that shapes their identity (and is
currently giving birth to a new cultural British trend, coming from
the suburbs). These images were shot at a council flat, the Missenden
Buiding, on their front doors. |
They were shot within a community who
do not like strangers neither cameras around. The portraits try to
capture their reaction to the future; their idea of leaving home and
their perspective about the outside world.Elephant was exhibited at the London Underground curated by Birgitte
Lardinois, ex representative of Magnum Agency UK. |

East Greenland, 70 Degrees North is a documentary project about a
wild but magnificent landscape -and isolation-, to be found at one of
the outposts of civilization. Shot above the Arctic Circle, in Ittoqotoormiit, Greenlandīs most
isolated settlement and municipality, the images are both a homage
and recognition to an area inhabitated by of the last hunters
societies in the world as well to the legendary English, Danish and
Norwegian whalers and explorers who spent their life and money
pursuing their dreams on top of the world. |
On its content and photographic dimension, the project has different
layers of meaning. In the one hand the landscape works as a metaphore
of the vastness and subtle conditions of the human soul, this way
becoming an invitation for the viewer to experience a moment of calm
and intimacy.
On the other hand, the images apply principles taken from geometry and
the Bauhaus as an attempt to push forward the boundaries of landscape
photography.
The project has been exhibited and published in european magazines,
catalogues and galleries. It will be on a new show at London's Exit
Gallery WC2H 0EW, from Dec 07- Feb 08. |

TASSILAQ'S PORTRAITS are images from some of the most representative
people currently living, working or studying in the eastern town of
Tassilaq, Greenland. Due to its geographic and cultural isolation from
the rest of the island- and the world, (Tassilaq is by plane and
helicopter, 5.5 hours way from Nuuk, Greenland's political and
finantial capital in the west coast of the country), the town remains
as a sort of Arctic oasis with its own dialect and system of beliefs
on the Eastern side of the Ice Cap. Combining the ways of the
traditional Inuit culture with the latest technology, skidoos, health
care and satellite communications provided by the Danish goverment,
Tassilaq's inhabitants share a unique and friendly atmosphere that
spontaneously extends to the few tourists that visit the area
travelling from Iceland. |

hectares comprising fast flowing, clear waters in a wooded valley of
the River Barle.Tarr Steps is best known for its scheduled monument, the clapper

East Greenland's Fjords are the largest and one of the most
spectacular in the world. Surrounded by a magical unspoiled wilderness
of snow capped mountains, glaciers and late summer icebergs, the area
is home to 5 traditional inuit settlements: Kuummiut, Kulusuk,
Tineteqilaaq, Sermiligaaq and Isertoq. Protected by the Danish
goverment, the region is accesible by ships and international cruises
only between july and september. Advanced kayak expeditions are also
offered in this time of the year by Greenlandic, English and Icelandic
outfitters. |
Icebergs and glaciers which are not completely frozen cover the area;
they flow and move as snow accumulates above and eventually melts far
below. Icebergs snap off the glaciers at the edges of the ice cap.
Greenland's ice cap or inland ice covers 1,833,900 square km,
equivalent to 85 percent of the country's total area and extends
2,500 km (1,553 miles) from north to south and up to 1,000 km from
east to west. At its center, the ice can be up to 3 km thick,
representing 10 percent of the world's total fresh water reserves
which are now in danger due to Global Warming. |
