Publisher Note
“The Waiting Game II” is the second part of the project with which Txema Salvans won the 2012 RM Photobook Competition. This follow-up project continues to explore a series of desolate, though inhabited, landscapes of the Spanish Mediterranean.
In the first book, the central figure in the photos was always a prostitute. In this second series, it is a fisherman: fishing in reservoirs and marshes, alongriverbanks, or in the sea in port towns. These fishermen are endowed withendless patience and resilience, capable of blending into any kind of landscape.
As a sort of mantra, the fishermen explain their activity as a way of “staying out of the house”.
“The Waiting Game II” is a complement to the first book, which was only apparently about prostitution. This new project reinforces the idea that the real subject is a personal reflection on the notion of waiting.
