" Architecture - and by extension the City and its spaces - make up a synthesis - perhaps unique - of Geographical Infrastructure, Economic Structure and Ideological Superstructure".
Antoni Miranda, architect and essayist
This is a tour around the bridges and viaducts of the high-speed rail line between Madrid and Barcelona to explore the social and environmental implications of a territory in the shadow of the AVE (Spanish High Speed). A territory that supports the most powerful infrastructure and emblem of modernity in Spain, but that leaves it out of the image it projects. An infrastructure that is the fruit of political, economic and territorial power at the service of speculation and spectacularisation.
