Synopsis
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.
