EDEN
BERNAL
Description
Made up of two books that are interspersed and remain united on a cardboard cover. When the photobook opened, the pages compose a panoramic frame on which the images, from one side and the other, are completed or establish relationships with each other. Thus, the passing of the pages is used as a tool to collide vanishing lines and establish relationships by contact, but at a distance; but above all, to construct a narrative whose flow involves the physical movement of the viewer, who when unfolding the book, penetrates little by little into the landscape and into the protagonist’s stories.
