About the Item

The photograph measures 40 x 40 cm. It is printed on matte Hahnehmühle paper. The dimension of time for María Moldes (Pontevedra, 1974) is used as a weapon of resistance against what is established, against the hegemonic regimes of temporality. She presents “Bloop” in the gallery space, a series that began by chance while walking through San Pedro del Pinatar, Murcia. An area full of mud baths in which people go to bathe for their beneficial properties for the skin and health; a super picturesque scene in which people end up covered in dark gray mud, almost bordering on black. It is a collection of photographs that practically borders on surrealism, again, with super picturesque and elderly characters that seem taken from a John Waters film. María emphasizing the absurdity of human behavior and specifically in this case, the environmental pollution of the Mar Menor, close to collapse due to urban pressure and agricultural waste. With her extravagant images she addresses ecological problems and tells us the story of a dark future, loaded with satire, where men and waste are submerged in sweet pink waters.
