“To the moon and back» is inspired by the motto found on the spanish Anti-Riot Police Unit website. A work that proposes, as its title, a journey around the space (of the image) which intention is to go through bodies to talk, from their own fragments, of the most in(di)visible part of physical and political control. A book that borns from a need to reflect about a global state of consumption and repression in which legitimate use of force and social protest and poverty criminalization are common elements, usually undercover by the name of security.The work focuses on the human condition of physical bodies of power, the distance they keep themselves from the demonstrators and the nature of his duty. All the images were taken during 2012 to 2014 during police charges happened after marches, strikes or demonstrations in Spain, and they gather into a book that started printing on July 1st, 2015, day that the New Security Law (Gag Law) came into force, and was published in September of that same year in collaboration with RVB Books.
