 “ SE VENDE”

Propúxenme fotografar a arquitectura do meu entorno. No proceso de documentación atopei información en artigos de prensa onde xeralmente se presentaban reportaxes sobre vivendas incoherentes; co afán de ridiculizalas e non prestando atención á resolución fotográfica.

Fun consciente da cantidade de inmobles paralizados que hai, e comecei a capturalos. Nun primeiro momento trateinos como ruínas prematuras, até que me din conta que, ruína connota función e vida; e estes non chegaron a ser. Non teñen pegada de vida, son un aborto da construción. Unha mala xestión económica unido a especulación deu pé á edificación masiva co resultado dunha paisaxe agredida con obras a medio construír.

A conxelación no tempo de moitas cimentacións, provocadas pola situación económica actual, orixinou que este tipo de imaxes sexan habituais no noso día a día. Desencadeando problemas de seguridade e impacto visual á poboación veciña.

FOR SALE

I decided to take photographs of the architecture around me. Throughout the process of documentation I came across some information, in newspaper articles, in which incoherent reports about housing where often presented in an effort to ridicule them, without paying attention to their photographic resolution.
I became aware of the amount of existing paralyzed properties and I started to capture them. At first I handled them as premature ruins, until I realized that ruins imply functions and life, and these had not borne any. These have no remnants of life on them. They represent an abortion of construction. A bad economic management together with all the speculation made room for the massive building, resulting in a damaged landscape with half-built constructions.
A time-freeze in the laying of many foundations caused by the current economic situation made these kind of images more usual in our everyday lives. Bringing about problems of security and visual impact to the neighbour settlement.
