Art description:
"Alicia en el pais del amor" (Alice in Loveland). A collection of photographic portraits of children, inspired by the photographic work of Lewis Carroll.
Incident:
In 2001, I held an exhibition titled "Alice in Loveland" at the Museo de Siyasa, in Cieza (Spain). It consisted of a series of photographs of female children (aged 7 to 10), most of which had been previously exhibited at the near town of Molina de Segura a few months before. Some of the pictures featured nude children. After 20 days, the exhibition was prematurely closed as a result of the pressure by judge Concepcion Ferrer following a report from a Spanish Army officer. Immediately afterwards, the judge confiscated all the photographs and ordered a raid at my house seizing all my prints and negatives, the exhibitions' leaflets, as well as my literary works, videotapes and some art books by well-known photographers such as Irina Ionescu or Yoji Ishikawa. I was charged with corruption of minors.
Current status:
I received the notification of the ending of the case in February 2004. My works and belongings were returned some days after. However, some pictures of the exhibition had major damages and many articles were lost: among them, some negatives and prints and the exhibitions' leaflets.
The exhibition is ready to travel to any gallery or art institution around the world if required. In the last years I kept on working on new photographic series and other artistic works.
