The TOGETHER project aims to secure funding for the self-publishing of a BOOK of photographs, so it can be realized thanks to all of you.
'TOGETHER'is a photographic journey that documents the way of life in community.
I have visited and photographed ten communities, some of the Iberian Peninsula such as Cal Cases, Amalurra, El Calabacino, Artosilla, Los Portales, Valley of Sensations and Fairy House, from Palma to the Canary Islands the community of Pacahamama, in Greece, on the island of Evia, the one of Thelethrion, and in India the well-known Auroville.
What will we use the money for?
The contribution you make to the project will be used to cover the costs of printing the book, and the shipping of the rewards.
Book
The photographic book will feature around 300 color images, measuring 24 cm x 17 cm, and will consist of 200 pages. It will be available in three languages: Catalan, Spanish, and English.
The book has two sensational maps made by Aleix Pons, to locate communities in the world.
It consists of a fantastic prologue by journalist Clara Arnedo.
And the wonderful layout and design of the book are the creation of Ferran Sendra.
Where the project is born
This project was born from the questions that arose from my last project, the book ‘For Sale’,a book that offers us a journey through the landscapes left by the economic crisis in the United States, Spain, Ireland, Greece and Portugal.
When photographing those desolate landscapes, where everything was for sale, I realized, as Catalina Gayà explains in the Prologue: 'that there was no possible buyer, because in reality, it is a scam, a non-place built without emotions; only material and without any humanity in between'.
In ‘For Sale’ there were no people, that’s why in ‘TOGETHER’ the people are the center.
Why participate in the project?
Because by combining illusions with a collective spirit, like the future that we now have to build, we can go further.
Who am I?
A passionate photographer and documentary filmmaker with a long career spanning over 35 years. After studying Fine Arts and Photography at the IEFC, I dedicated myself to documenting reality by covering news and making reports for El Periódico de Catalunya.
In parallel with my work in this medium, I have been a committed soul with several NGOs (such as Ulls del Món, Arquitectes sense fronteras, Fundació Ramon Martí Bonet etc.) immortalizing their actions of aid to the third world in Africa, Latin America and Asia. With the purpose of inspiring changes and social awareness.
With a personal creative touch, I published the book "For Sale", a visual exploration of landscapes affected by the economic crisis in several countries, reflecting the beauty and complexity of the world around us. And now I will complement my vision of the human being with the publication of 'TOGETHER'.
