Solo dios salva
The project “Solo Dios Salva” by the photographer Borja Larrondo, tells the story of the last days of the Gabarre-Mendoza family in the Cañada Real, Spain.
Daily life situations of those who live in La Cañada. The documentary filmmaker, as if he were a local photographer, witnesses their fears, pressure and anger at the demolition of what has been their family home. His humanistic look leaves us with a work full of images that provide a feeling of vital energy and color.
With a raw and direct style, the exhibition shows a daily and vibrant portrait. Displaying the uses of contemporary popular culture, he turns into an icon, the resistance and courage of the protagonists that tend to be part of a severely stigmatized collective imaginary.

Aquellos que esperan
Vol. 01: Así nace la espera
A multi-format project in constant growth that, since October 2012, documents life in the Madrid neighborhood of Orcasur.
The publication responds to an ordered dossier model of a multidirectional essay arising from personal learning. It explores prejudice in the slums. It shows the media treatment and exemplifies it with its own photographs. It frees itself from taboo. It inquires about the environment and its context, about those who inhabit it. It narrates the evolution of personal experience throughout the work process and invites reflection, with a clean and unprejudiced look.

Aquellos que esperan
Vol. 02: La Memê Indifférence
The same set of measures applied on a large scale will produce identical or very similar results in different societies and at different times.
Through an artistic residency at Space 104 in Paris, AQE has enriched its multiformat project on the Orcasur neighborhood of Madrid with a new work realized in La Courneuve, on the outskirts of Paris. This new phase tries to outline - in a fractional way - bridges of comparison, but above all it intends to make us feel and question ourselves about the future of our societies.
