the giants
(los gigantes)
La Mancha, Spain, 2010. Driving through the highway oneis surprised to see alongside the old windmills a new scenery. Tall, whitemetallic windmills decorate now the countryside, providing with energy thenearby cities. There has been a long debate in the last years concerning theaesthetic changes this type of installation brings to a scenery. Thinking backat the story of don Quixote and the windmills by Miguel de Cervantes takingplace in this same scenery , the attack against the false giants seems to besomething that is repeated once again. This project is about changes and howthey affect our lives in view of the future. There is in the end beauty hiddeneverywhere.
