– EVERYBODY NEEDS GOOD NEIGHBOURS (2014-2015)Seleccionado segunda convocatoria FOTOPRES LA CAIXA. Everybody needs good neighbours es un proyecto fotográfico que parte de un territorio concreto, el pueblo natal del fotógrafo, Vilobí d’Onyar. Este municipio, de aproximadamente 3.000 habitantes, se caracteriza por estar ubicado en un espacio de confluencia de infraestructuras de transporte: el aeropuerto Costa Brava, l’Eix Transversal, la autopista del Mediterráneo y la línea ferroviaria AVE. Si bien Vilobí d’Onyar aparenta ser un pueblo cualquiera de la geografía catalana, su condición de „tierra de nadie“ rodeada de infraestructuras lo convierte en un territorio desmembrado. ———————————————————————- Everybody needs good neighbours is a photographic Project that takes place in a specific territory, my home town, Vilobi d Onyar. Town of aproximately 3000 inhabitants, defined by being located in a junction area of transport infrastructures. The Costa Brava airport, L’Eix Transversal, the Mediterráneo Highway and theAVE train line have been part of this town for a long time. Even though Vilobi D onyar seems to be an ordinary town in the catalan region, it ́s no man ́s land^ condition, surrounded by infrastructures, turns it into a dismember territory. Tunels, retaining walls, bridges and fences conform a landscape that influenced their inhabitants and their adaptation to their enviroment. In Everybody need good neighbors I am determined to approach a definite own territory , searching in the well known landscapes for the novelty and the surprise, exploring the familiar terrain and the people that inhabit it.
