This photo book brings together early works by Monclo) primarily created before 2015. The collection evokes a wild dreamlike realm filled with figures and symbols that gesture toward an apocalyptic landscape. As in dreams, clear narratives dissolve upon waking; what lingers are fleeting impressions, vivid details, and the residue of emotion.
Revisited during the early months of the pandemic, when the future felt difficult to envision, these images revealed unexpected connections. Iconic moments surfaced: a herd of black horses, a lotus flower captured in China, a factory rising along a road to Valencia. Presented first in black and white, the photographs take on a distant, almost otherworldly presence, inviting new interpretations. When arranged and paired, they began to form fractured narratives that guided a return through the archive, completing a journey once left open.
The result is a work shaped by uncertainty yet driven by the impulse to imagine boldly. It reflects the fragility of human existence, mere flickering specks in the vast history of the earth, while encouraging the audacity to dream wildly. Ultimately, the book settles into a quiet sense of renewal, echoing the lotus that rises through murky water toward light.
The project is presented in two parts and accompanied by a poster.
