UFOPresences

UFOPresences is the fun project about the spaces of UFO sightings and the way of transformation that localities, roads and cities turned into a legend. Aliens, Area 51, Death Valley or Roswell. The project that conceptualizes in images, maps and graphics the UFO phenomenon offers us places where these strange appearances have entered a unique subculture in the environment, endowing it with a singular energy. The psychoses and the missiles of the cold war in the decades after the second great war endowed this subculture with alarm and fear for the extraterrestrial invasion with B-series films and artistic movements that are present today in the collective ideology.
