Sandra Balsells
Sandra Balsells has spent more than twenty years using her camera to document and denounce the impact that military, natural and social catastrophes have on people. She practices a humanist, combative, poetic photojournalism that lays bare the conflicts of our time, offering us images with which to construct critical discourses and organise our visual memory. In FONS ÀUDIO #20, Balsells takes us on a journey through her career, revisiting works such as Balkan in memoriam (2002), Retrats de l’ànima (2004), and the MACBA Collection commission Formació Global. IESE (2007).
