A Coruña
A Coruna is the former political capital of the region and the seventeenth largest city in Spain. You can actually assume that it perfectly fits the role of the Spanish Anytown, with the picturesque coast, the traces of heavy industry and the historic old town. Paweł Jaśkiewicz closely follows the traces left by statistical Fulano or Fulanita de Tal. Coruna is a portrait of its inhabitants through the prism of space. Not wishing to generalize this portrait of the whole of Spain, he constructs a visual essay that tracks the interactions of the city’s inhabitants with its infrastructure and their everyday coexistence.
