Mamá
Espagne
2016agnès b.
This project was produced in collaboration with the “Caixa” Bank. Mama is an ongoing project focusing on Nacho Caravia’s own mother. This is both a portrait of and tribute to her.
The first pictures of his mother date back from when he becomes aware of his personal emancipation. For him, photography embodies a new form of dialogue, free from parental hierarchy.
Observing his mother’s mood swings and their impact on daily life arouse in him a sense of worry and sadness. One of the main axes of this project, as important as the photographs themselves, is therefore the idea that they may help his mother who, confronted by images of her behaviour, may improve the relations she has with her entourage.
