This book is a poem - a poem about the art of printing photographs on paper and binding them as a book, and of course also a poem about Gaudí, the Catalan master builder, perhaps the most beautiful poem in book form about him to date. Aitor Ortiz developed this book against all reason, but with the obsession and devotion necessary for great art, over several years together with kindred spirits. One must see it, feel it, smell it, read it attentively page by page. It is the successful attempt to give the creative, artistic genius of the Catalan master builder Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) a congenial medial equivalent.
