Background information
"What
could the cheerful woman in the middle of a crowd be looking for in
that coffin? And what kind of bishop is that with the naked beauty on
his cape? The photographs of
Cristóbal HARA show an undiscovered Spain - far from its beautiful
beaches and urban centers - with its completely normal people and
animals along with its peculiarities. They beg close examination as they
reveal the extraordinary in the ordinary. At
processions and markets, funerals and bullfights or simply on the
street, HARA positions his camera to capture something from the hustle
and bustle in the provinces.
Content
The photo volume 'An Imaginary Spaniard' (the out of print German edition is called 'Ein Spanier zuviel') contains artistic photos that tell of joy, sorrow, loneliness and companionship and create their own fairy-tale world from a combination of sadness and enchantment." (© Steidl Verlag, 2004)
