Against all that glitters

Composed of 10 different series accompanied by 9 texts, Contra todo lo que reluce brings together images by photographer Juan Baraja as an ode to architecture, a constant play with materiality, light and the volumes of structures found in remote places. This compendium is a gateway to observe history, design, law and planning that harnesses the issues of industry, agriculture, rural life, urbanisation and social sustainability within a specific ecosystem. In a poetic and sculptural manner, Juan Baraja addresses the tensions and difficulties that arise between a timeless ideal and the effects of time.
