		<description><![CDATA[Aleix Plademunt Perez: My work reflects on different social attitudes, analyzed through the landscape. I am interested in the landscape when it has a direct relationship with the social, with us. I’m interested in analyzing the landscape from a present perspective, from the moment of history in which I am living. I’m questioning why I have found the landscape in this way, how we use it, how we move about in it, and what we understand by the term ‘landscape’. Dubai has had the privilege of being able to create a city from scratch, from nothing. The city has the space and money to enable it to realize the dreams of a society. The city speaks of the desires, hopes and habits of today’s society. A city was built by appropriating Western symbols and taking them to the extreme, to the limit. The result is a thematic and fictionalized city which in many cases borders on the absurd.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["In my photographs from the last few years, I have intervened upon the landscape, creating scenes or sets with a wide range of natural and manmade elements. In this way, amidst the sometimes oppressive vastness, I construct and photograph intimate spaces: some of them are metaphors for the painful desertification of the planet caused by man, while others work as ironic allusions to our relationship with the desert. The action I perform deals with reintegration: it’s a reflection on what the desert has lost, but also a way of restoring its ravaged memory through a personal intervention."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Esteban Pastorino Díaz: "I wanted to create an ambiguous image that resembles the way we look at the scale models but which is actually a photograph of the real world. The main technical points that I defined for that were: the apparent short deep of field in the images, and the high point of view from which the images would be taken. The first effect is given by tilting the lens in relation to the film. For that I constructed a cardboard camera which has the lens in that position and fixed focus. To reach a high point of view, I use a kite that lifts the camera between sixty and four hundred feet up into the air.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This work uses an objective and detached photographic language about reality to form questions on abstraction. The order of artifacts is re-ordered and an emptied off-season location is further emptied of its overt meanings through photography under artificial light. It was realized through a visual exploration carried out exclusively on Susanoglu Beach. This choice was made because it had been the venue of an important part of my life, and the source of a personal obsession, yet this work has no place for nostalgia.]]></description>
