Invisible Cities Baseline Magazine, London 2002
13 photographs in full colour. Text by Horacio Fernández
Urban landscape photographs. Mr. Fernández writes: ¨These show a way of making visible that which can not be seen, of discovering a part of the whole that cities hide from the inhabitants … The result is a non-place … a city that grows at the cross of what it denies… that extinguished all other forms inhabiting the earth¨.

Stereo tf Editors, Madrid, 2002
54 photographs in black and white. Text by Horacio Fernández
A series of photographs arranged in pairs that are formally similar. They reveal a rhythm of an almost melancholic musicality reminiscent of the photographic journeys of Robert Frank. Much of Stereo’s interest resides in the fact that the photographer relegates much more importance to the images than to his own presence.
