1991 “THE TRAMS OF LISBON”
The old neighbourhoods of Lisbon as seen through the windows of the trams that traverse the city. The reportage in black and white that conveys the sense of restlessness that the fados introduced in the 1920s. The photographic reportage of the trams was published in Literatur in Krefeld, 1993.

1992 “WEIGHED, COUNTED, DIVIDED”
A biblical definition of marketplaces. Fish markets in Crete and Athens in Greece.

Galería Antonio de Barnola.

Shown here, taken from this long photo-reportage, are “Ink Stain,” photographs of Cuban children leaving school at the end of the day, and the photo-reportage “Red Room,” which looks at Cuban shows: a reportage shot in the dark world of cabaret dressing rooms, in which the subject’s deprivation is evident, and of the performances themselves on stage, in which feathers and sequins feature prominently. Barcelona City Council. Casa Groga.

Close-up portraits of men and women of diverse ethnicities in Senegal. The strength of their gaze and their visual connection with the camera are evident in this reportage in colour. Barcelona City Council. Casa Groga.

Photo-reportage on the men and women of the falla ‘Grabador Esteve-Cirilo Amorós’ of Valencia. The classic costumes worn by the participants in this famous festival in Valencia served as a medium for the interpretation of Velázquez’s maids of honour and other figures painted by Goya. Well-known families in Valencia granted the photographer access to their homes so that she could take photographs of them while they were dressing and conducting the rituals associated with their attire. The photographer gave permission for her photographs to be sold. The funds raised went to the Valencian branch of UNICEF. Gran Casino de Agricultura. Valencia. Villarroel Theatre. Barcelona.

2003 “BARCELONA, NON PLUS, PLEASE”
Photo-reportage taken in Barcelona during the war in Iraq. The citizens’ demonstrations altered the look of the streets, and with this change the icons that define the city were given a life of their own. Snowflake, the albino gorilla, formed an emblematic part of the reportage. Presented at Visa pour l’image. Perpignan.

2004 “BARCELONA IN SILENCE, A CITY FOR THE PEACE”
In this report, the duality of psychology and photography provides an interpretation of a reality, a universe familiar to the photographer in her own city of Barcelona, its neighbourhoods, streets and buildings all empty, as if the tumult of the metropolis had vanished. Silence as a means of expression, a non-verbal communication, of doing things without stridence. Barcelona, a city for the peace, has broadcast its message from its balconies, a truly Mediterranean means of expression.
