Produced between 2011 and 2013 across the Iberian Peninsula, Juan Aballe's book explores his relationship with the rural environment and the emotions stirred by the possibility of leaving the city for a life closer to nature. It also reflects on photographic language itself and on how we are shaped by earlier representations and preconceived ideas about rural utopias — the illusion of escaping contemporary society, the naivety and hope invested in nature meeting the strangeness and nostalgia of a life that is not his own.
