, (No) soy de aquí

(No) soy de aquí/ I'm (not) from here was born of a faint but persistent discomfort, of the feeling of disbelief about my surroundings and of a dual rejection / attraction that this territory provokes in me. This work is the exploration of that discomfort and of my beliefs about Murcia, the region of Spain where I live. Exorcism, homage, mockery and research at once, (No) soy de aquí is the (self) portrait, made by one of its confused inhabitants, of a place impossible but real.

Description of book: (No) soy de aquí (I am (not) from here in English) is a project about my complicated relationship with my own land, Murcia (Spain). This collection of bizarre monuments, fake luxury and the ruins of forgotten dreams is my attempt to put into images my beliefs about this place.
