Yesterday I went with my friend from Luis Franco Ferrer to scout palaces in Palma for an interiors editorial for AD Magazine. This place absolutely blew my mind as an amazing location. Abandoned for decades, it’s decaying beauty was stunning. I spend nearly three hours taking photos of the room after room of spaces and corridors. See the gallery post for a small selection of shots. I will definitely be shooting a fashion session here soon so look out for that!
If you are in Cologne this Saturday, pop into the Wonderland (klein) Gallery to see an exibition of great performance photography by all four Womex 2008 photographers including Alex Amengual.
Press Release:
In October 2007, WOMEX (World Music Expo) invited 4 international music photographers to coverthe concert events in Sevilla, Spain during the 2007 WOMEX Festival. The WOMEX Festival is a yearly eventgathering artists from all over the world. From Belize to Mongolia, these musicians come together to performand promote their recorded music.For years, I have attended many music conventions that take place around the world from “by:Larm” inNorway to “MIDEM” in Cannes and never have I seen such a gathering of talented and inspiring artists. I wastotally surprised to see nomadic Touregs from sub-Saharan Africa playing Stratocaster guitars, La Shica, a fla-menco dancer that gives Madonna a run for her money and many other artists that completely upset my previ-ous concepts of “world music”.On March 1st, Wonderland will present 10 photos from each of the photographers that were there: AlexAmengual (Spain), Carlos Mendes Pereira (Portugal), Tomas Opitz (Hungary) and myself (Germany). Duringthe Vernissage, we will play music from the performers that are being exhibited. It will be an interesting andfun event.All the photographers will be here for the Vernissage. Please come by if you can.
