DescriptionNoemí studied MA Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at London College of Communication. She says her series Montes Negros’ Eden 'unveils the environmental story of ‘Los Monegros’ desert and its relation with local myth and folklore, as well as social and political aspects. The many layers of the story link to the different photo formats and techniques of the images, including the use of orange filters to burn the digital image, black and white analogue photographs, overexposed colour film and scanned collected herbs and plants. The series is the result of experimentation, witness research, collaboration with local museums, visual analysis and interpretation of the human intervention on the land.'
