CARLA CABANAS AND THE ESCAPING MIRROR ON TRAVEL
David Barro

Carla Cabanas' images summon our complicity to come closer to them. [...] Stolen images, bathed by a melancholic halo which comes from her desire to capture the image that best reflects reality, which is never the image of the real, but her oblique regard, the present's moment that hovers on memory. This is why her photography reminds us more of painting or drawing, that photography per se.
