“Tiempos de Arena / Within the Times of Sand” — Photographic Exhibition

“Tiempos de Arena” is a fabric of imaginary experiences and stories that proposes a reflection on our complex relationship with the untamed and vulnerable nature. This project arises from an exploratory trip to Mauritania carried out at the beginning of 2020 by the artists of EnFoco.

They experienced the intensity of the desert, the impetus of the nomads, and the resistance of nature. Submerged in its infinite sands, they soon understood that in the desert time passes in a different beat, clocks hardly exist and the wind whispers distant stories that invite us to a profound introspection. The desert thus allowed a glimpse of the past, an inevitable connection with the present, and an envisioning of the future, all at once.

Back and with the experience still afresh, they re-imagined memories of a virgin desert, summoned their ghostly presences, watched man and nature invade each other, and finally invented their own utopias.

In “Tiempos de Arena”, the artists reconstruct their Mauritanian sensations and propose a playful challenge of disorientation, which does not ignore the desert but politicizes it and poses a question about our leading role in the uncertain evolution of times and nature

ENFOCO is a group of artists whose travel book is marked by inquiry, pushing the limits of everyday life to communicate themes inherent to human beings. The lens challenges us and invites us to record stories that go unnoticed by the casual eye.​

Our sensitivity in front of the camera and the many paths traveled together, lead us to give visibility to issues that would otherwise go unnoticed.
