Josep Echaburu

  • Josep Echaburu's images break with the stereotypes to which we are accustomed and that, on most occasions, we have made part of our lives and convictions. These show us a reality where even the most extreme cruelty fails to move us. We live invaded by terrible images of war, hunger and despair, in front of which our faces no longer flinch, not even a miserable grimace is capable of transmitting what our souls should feel. Life offers us other faces, which from objectivity and everyday life can surprise and move us. It is the great challenge of Josep Echaburu's photography. In all her projects she gives us a little of the life that we all have every day, and where our neighbor from 3 B is the great protagonist. Josep Echaburu currently resides in Barcelona.
