images that haunt us

‘This group of nuns wearing traditional wimples was photographed from the mezzanine level of Washington National Airport, as they farewelled one of their order leaving for South America. The image is a visual puzzle, reminiscent of flowers or origami – until the hands are seen towards the bottom of the photograph.’ (Quoted from source) /

Leopoldo Pomés :: ‘La Vasquita’, Barcelona, 1958 / source: Diari Ara
In 1957 Pomés was commissioned by editor Carlos Barral to photograph the city of Barcelona. After a year of work, Carles Seix (Barral’s partner) dismissed the publication of the book because he considered the photographs depicts Barcelona in a gloomy way. In 2012 [55 years later] Fundació Foto Colectania decided to organise an exhibition and published the book.
