La Guareña, in the southeast of the province of Zamora, is a region tormented by time, where the risk of disappearance begins to erode its identity. In a wild region where the wind blows and it hardly rains, the population ages with melancholy while the land moves towards oblivion with no way back. With an economy based on agriculture and livestock, there are no prospects for change. The region is the portrait of an emptied Spain. The function of the essay shows a social portrait that documents the last days of a system and way of life that is disappearing.
The project captures a place disturbed by tension. Solarigraphy is a photographic concept and practice based on the observation of the path of the sun in the sky (different in different places on Earth) and its effect on the landscape, captured through a process that combines pinhole photography and digital processing.
