Monoliths, by Manuel Álvarez Diestro
17/04/2024
The latest photography series of Manuel Álvarez Diestro (Santander, 1972) is inspired by the monolith that appears in the Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. These vertical structures dominate landscapes in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Álvarez Diestro in this way draws parallelisms between the imposing towers, seemingly disconnected from the world, and the black monolith of the film.
