EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and captivating print captured by Hugh Rooney, we are transported to the heart of Valencia, Spain during the renowned Las Fallas festival. The image showcases a typical falla scene with an array of Papier Mache figures adorning the streets. As our eyes wander through the photograph, we are immediately drawn to the intricate craftsmanship and vivid colors that bring these caricatures to life. Each figure tells its own story, reflecting satire and humor in their exaggerated features and expressions. These puppets ninots stand tall as they embody various characters from popular culture or political figures. The atmosphere depicted in this snapshot is one of joyous celebration and pageantry. During Las Fallas, locals come together to honor St Joseph while indulging in merriment and revelry. The festivities reach their climax on March 19th when these magnificent effigies are set ablaze amidst cheers from the crowd. Rooney's expert composition captures not only the physical beauty of these papier mache creations but also conveys a sense of excitement and anticipation felt during this annual event. Through his lens, he transports us into a world where tradition meets creativity, where art becomes a medium for social commentary. This print serves as a testament to both Spanish culture and human ingenuity - showcasing how something as simple as paper can be transformed into extraordinary works of art that ignite passion within those who witness them firsthand.
