FATA MORGANA
Through these images, Manu Jaime invites you to experience the confusing, and at times maddening, games these ethereal projections can play on the mind. These photographs invoke how Narcissus and his reflection may have felt reaching through the pond to find that things were different than they had dreamed. Fata Morgana is more than a mirage in a desert, it is the place between places where releasing your preconceived notions can set you free.
GEMELA REVERSIBLE
Like two sides of the same coin, the gemela reversible wager offers twice the opportunity, rewarding bettors if their selections place first and second, regardless of the order in which they cross the finish line. As the jockeys compete to win the horse race on the shoreline, along the periphery, thousands of eyes remain locked on the golden mile, hands wringing in anticipation.
A'GHALLDACHD
Manu Jaime and his team bring the microcosm of the lowlands of Scotland to the sprawling suburbs of Alicante, Spain. From a clan’s kilt to tried-and-true leather garments to knitwear emboldened with vermillion hues, yesteryear breathes through its modern renditions. Juxtaposing an array of styles, the series shows how even traditional costumes, textures, and colours can feel current amidst contemporary landscapes. Indeed, a’Ghalladachd is not merely a place, but a state of mind.

DO NOT ENTER
We invite you to lift the veil between worlds, between the polite and the instinctive, traversing the ego and the id. Beneath this façade, lies the truest and rawest form of ourselves, a facet of our identity that lurks beneath the still waters of the mind. This unchained version of the self thrives upon fantasy and embraces its feral nature. No longer shrinking like a violet behind a door, but roaming wild, roused by passion.
MEDITERRANEAN MAKE-BELIEVE
Through these pictures, Manu Jaime and his team capture the intertwining scenes of the Mediterranean and frame them in fantasy. Merging street and editorial photography, the images blend fact with fiction to craft modern Mediterranean tableaus that burst at the seams with life. With the help of passersby, who participate in the charade by lighting the protagonist with a flash, the scenes become cinematic, larger-than-life moments. In A Flash explores how everyday stories can transcend reality and metamorphose into visions of playful pretend.
5651 KM AROUND THE IBERIAN PENINSULA
In the summer of 2018, Italian photographer Giovanni Riccó travelled along the Iberian coast for a total of 5651 kilometres in a converted van. This long coast has been occupied by various empires but despite their size, locations or cultural and historical dispositions, the coastal towns all share an immense natural beauty and a deep connection with water.
