Extracorpóreo

The freedom to be another. Another one that, deep down turns out to be a little like the original self. Living in a small place is ultimately, in a way, an expression of theatricality itself. Everyone knows each other. And this knowledge entails a form of restriction; we are somehow forced to live through characters. The characters we are, because we want to or because they want us to.

Sofia Espada

Sofia Espada is an apologist of the degrowth ideology that does not work with the "faster, higher, more, more, more". A simple life, circular, slow and well built in solid foundations of reflection. She believes the secret lies in doing everything with the same joy and dedication; even the smallest thing. She likes stories and it is around this love that she creates, using the photographs not as an end but as a means for the narrative to come to life.
