UTOPÍA

street

Year: 2015 for the original pictures taken by Google, 2022 for my selection
Location: SEVILLE

Photographs taken with screenshots from Google Maps

Short-project made during my Lens Escuela intermediate course.

For this exercise we were told to, using Google Maps (Street View feature), look for utopian images, cliché-like pictures of touristic, utopian landmarks. I realised that in one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Spain in my own city, there was a street named Utopia.

Turning the exercise around I decided to describe the dystopian scenes in Utopia, Seville (Andalusia, Spain).
