has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
Over 100.000 caesarean births are performed each year in Spain. Approximately half of them are unnecessary. For this series, created in collaboration with the Association "El Parto es Nuestro" (http://www.elpartoesnuestro.es) I photographed over twenty women that had cesarean sections. Some of them did not dare to look or show their scars before becoming part of this project.
I realized that under each scar there was always a story to be told. This series and a few selected testimonies have just been compiled in a new book called "CESÁREA, más allá de la herida" published by Ob Stare (http://www.obstare.com) ISBN 978-84-937526-3-7.
Tous les soirs elle attends Julot, sans espoir. Elle a l' coeur gros. Il traîne au bar le Julot. A rire, à boire, avec ses potos. Il rentrera plus tard, quand elle dans son plumard, à force de cafard , elle s'ra dans l' coltard...Au p'tit jour. Qu'il s'ra l'heure qu'elle, à son tour, aille au labeur... Et tout la journée, au boulot , elle rêv'ra de ce beau jour où, avec son Julot, ce s'ra le parfait amour... En attendant, sauf de temps en temps, chaque jour est navrant. C'est plus comme avant: Il fout rien d'la journée! L'a cinq pouces à la main! Il pense qu'à retourner avec ses copains.
(Sorry, no translation: too much slang...)
