Gran Canaria

Where the dune ends and the built world begins — and the signs that stay lit above them both.

The series

An ongoing series on the island's tourist landscape: the advancing sand, the concrete that stops a metre short, the neon names of places designed for people who are not meant to return.

No commission, no brief. It is the same way of looking that informs every photograph commissioned from the studio.

A concrete bench engraved with the name Joyería Geneve
The winding road descending from the mountains towards the coast
A car under a cover in a courtyard
A field of aloe with a wooden canopy and mountains behind
A woman leaning against a column, reading a map
The Cueva Pintada excavations beneath the canopy, with sunlight slanting in
Three people sitting in the dune at sunset, beneath a hotel sign
A kebab kiosk lit by neon at night
Silhouettes of people on the crest of a dune, against the light

Ongoing series. The images on this page are not available for licensing.
