To Buñuel
To Buñuel is the result of a pilgrimage in the footsteps of the filmmaker, through Mexico City, Seville and Paris. These three cities, both real and mythical in his filmography, became the backdrop that allowed me to explore timelessness, the fragility of youth and the shifting boundary between reality and fiction.
Through my images, I seek to convey Buñuel’s spirit: surrealism as a way of life, his symbols hidden in the ordinary, and the constant tension between beauty and danger. Mexico offered me fragments of raw mysticism, Seville revealed its baroque shadows, and Paris its ambiguous elegance. Much more than just places, these locations have become characters in their own right, each carrying its own history and contradictions.
