HAROLD DIAZ
With disruptive, ruthless and attractive shots the American photographer Harold Diaz drag us into the reality of the discount malls. He does it with pitiless lucidity and without too much hesitation. We like the way he photographs and slaps reality without too many filters. A precise choice, willed, determined from a direct and instinctive look, still careful enough to grasp the most significant details. His way to portray these places doesn’t seem overblown and fake, but disarming. It is through this natural confidence that Diaz seems to claim a less expected reality and reproach the drama that is hidden behind it. In his images people and consumer objects come to confuse themselves to the point that its hard to understand what is truly more important today. A statement very explicit, and without false indulgences, on human dignity at the beginning of the new millennium.
