The Madrid-based photographer travels around the Iberian Peninsula for his monographic project 'Country Fictions'.
The question is how to portray the rural world photographically in such a way that “ambiguity and uncertainty” help to better understand the inhabitants of that emptied Spain? Juan Aballe (Madrid, 1975) returns with Country Fictions , a new project after his highly acclaimed Last Best Hope.
About the photographer Juan Aballe
After working in a photography lab while studying Chemistry in Madrid and Berlin, Aballe decided to study documentary and conceptual photography at the International Center of Photography in New York, as well as a master's degree in the Spanish capital, where he now resides. He has exhibited in Portugal, England, Italy, Japan and Australia.
Country Fictions, the new project by Juan Aballe
With Country Fictions he aims to generate images that serve as fragments of an imagined life, like a series of daydreams that form an open narrative.
They are photographs that debate between hope and doubt, between a romantic look and a certain disenchantment.
Juan Aballe
