Landscapes of Pressure

Landscapes of Pressure arises from the conviction that contemporary politics of land management respond to the logics of the global economy and consequently convert any territory within a metropolitan agglomeration into an object of speculation. The most fertile peri-urban agricultural lands of El Prat de Llobregat were momentarily designated to the transnational project Eurovegas during the last two years. The photographs open up a new perspective onto these landscapes of pressure and as such the reflection on territorial policies, processes of urban development and the productivity of a territory in its multiple facets.
