10206 km away

“Made in China”, a single photograph that I presented at the Lodz Festival of Photography in Poland, was the starting point, soon after I begun "10206 Km away" to wonder about china´s culture present and past. An intense, deeply rooted culture, with a great history full of tradition and century old customs, which is now compromised , almost forgotten in the unstoppable transformation process that has turned China into the economic and industrial world power of the new century. The photographs portray, the faces, the smiles, the expression, of this culture and its recorded history trough my personal vision, searching for some kind of common ground. Thus, a delicate scene is born, harmonious and perhaps a little romantic, my idea of China, the old China viewed from 10206 km away, something that it is so close but so far at the same time........
