The works of Velázquez, Francisco de Goya and Édouard Manet were great points of reference for the young artist. He soon traveled to Paris where he was able to imbibe the impressionist language of the time. But \"I missed the light of New York, its ramshackle spaces, used, destroyed by woodworm.

It would have been easy to turn it down, but I was compelled to accept without hesitation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe night before, I had watched Akira Kurosawa's 1952 film Ikiru. It begins with a voiceover describing the main character, an elderly civil servant who spends his days stamping the endless applications and petitions piling up on his desk. The clerk is played by the wonderful actor Takashi Shimura. The voiceover says: 'This is the protagonist of our story, but it would be boring to talk about him now, as he is just killing time. He passes through life. In fact, he is hardly alive...'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough I have never stamped anything in my life and have nothing in common with this man, the idea of not making the most of my days made me view the opportunity to go to Senegal as part of a medical expedition as a gift. Then I started to worry about how I was going to solve this assignment, which was finally going to materialise in the form of a book, in just seven days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn my second day in Thies, Laureano, the surgeon who restores sight to people, asked me, “What is it like to photograph blind people?”\u003cbr\u003eI was stunned. I realised that I wasn't just photographing blind people, but drawing their attention to me. Their blindness was irrelevant; I had before me the best models of my long career as a photographer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI got up close and personal when photographing them, taking close-ups, because if I moved further away, I would lose the necessary tension between model and photographer, and the enormous power these people could project. So, with a heavy heart, I had to give up fabulous costumes, wonderful prints and textures of fabrics, so as not to lose the extraordinary people in front of me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Expedition to Thies exhibition opens with contextual images to help visitors understand and locate the area in which its protagonists live.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are photographs of the beauty of the wild landscape and the atmosphere of the city. I have avoided reflecting the harsh reality in these images. As a photographer, I have never been interested in poverty, marginalisation or violence. I have always approached my work with artistic freedom, reflecting only what moves me. In my obsession with conceptualising the work rather than making a documentary report, I have left out many descriptive photos from this final edition. The book concludes with a sequence of light entering the hospital anarchically, seeping through every crack. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight is the protagonist of this story, and those who bring it back are its heroes. I would like to thank the Rementería Foundation, Adela Parra, Mariluz Capelo and Laureano Álvarez Rementería, the medical team and aid workers, and everyone else for setting an example and demonstrating commitment, generosity and love for those most in need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"TGB Limited Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54754056012121,"sku":"BOOKS HS CODE 490110","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/7184\/4697\/files\/Expedition_To_Thies-contra.jpg?v=1750070640"},{"product_id":"new-the-japan-art-collection","title":"The New Japan Art Collection","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003eLimited and numbered edition of 200 copies worldwide.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003eTwo double-sided books measuring 9.44x6.99 inches.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003eAlso includes an exclusive Japanese art collection of 30 art prints.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003eNow 180 (*)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e *After $360\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e*Pre-sale shipping time: 5\/6 weeks from receipt of order.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003eTWO DOUBLE-SIDED BOOKS IN LIMITED AND NUMBERED EDITION OF 600 COPIES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003eTHE 53 SEASONS OF TOKAIDO + THE 100 ASPECTS OF THE MOON\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"\"\u003eIn this work we present The Fifty-three Seasons of Tokaido and The Hundred Aspects of the Moon.
