A World In His Mind

Sergio Garval.Naufragos.

Sergio Garval‘s work depicts collective scenes or happenings, plentiful of anonymous characters, subtleties and ambiguities nested in the rim of Life and Theatre . He links image to transience through rather spontaneous, dislocated forms that could be defined and compared to a composition signed by Goya. His is a reckoning of human condition as well as a negative vision of living experience; it is solitude, fragility and sarcasm that provide a tragic sense to the existential representation of mankind.

Inspired by an article he read about abandoned diamond mines in Namibia, photographer Álvaro Sánchez-Montañés wanted to learn more. In his magazine he had only stumbled across one picture of Kolmanskop, a now ghost town in southern Namibia that had once been a rich mining village. Online he found a treasure trove of interesting photos and at that moment promised himself that he would one day experience the Namib desert for himself. He would see with his very own eyes how the desert sands’ had reclaimed its space.

When he got there, he found “the beauty in the abandoned, of the useless, of the time passing by.” Left at the mercy of the Namib desert, the winds had filled the rooms of the deserted buildings with sand. The diamond village that had once been thriving was now more like a surreal dream.
