The photographs of Luis González Palma are marked by a rich texture of transcendent symbols and an open-armed embrace of beauty. Crows, roses, and wings appear again and again, yet his world is one haunted by grief. "I live in a country where there is so much mysticism and so much violence at the same time," he said, "where as you are enjoying nature, the helicopters are flying overhead and you know they are going to bomb some region; where you know that as you are working, someone is being killed or someone is being baptized." González Palma, however, is no documentary photographer. His landscape is not that of Guatemala but that of the soul, and it is filled with angels as well as terrifying, mythic beasts." (John Wood). González Palma's international following "has evolved around the strange hybrids of race and culture that add up to Latin America." (Francis Hodgson, 2018). Beautiful, elegant production conceptualized by James Crump. Art direction and design by Elsa Kendall. With list of sixty plates and González Palma notes on the installations at rear. Printed on heavy, uncoated paper by EBS, Verona. Artikel-Nr. 50186
