About the Book
As part of my site-specific and autobiographical creative practice, I made a series of walks in the Rio Segura valley in Spain. One by one, these walks define a territory that embodied my imagination, concerns, creativity and physical ability. The rough beauty of the valley struck me. It is a working environment that reflects the area's economic activity and wealth. People appear to lead simple, quiet lives. Walking allows me to engage with space intimately, to observe, document and exchange. At first, I collected roadside debris, plants and rocks that I kept as a colourful and eclectic collection in my studio. Later, I photographed the trash I found on my walks to bring attention to the environmental crisis we are part of. In these photographs, I examine the aesthetic and poetic connectness between humans and the material world and how light, time, and the weather activate the landscape.
