The four figures appear as though they are looking into the distance, but there is in fact no distance. They’re probably planning a route to walk on their holiday in the Alps. There’s a tension between what you can see and what they can see. This tension is Ghirri’s domain. Throughout his career as a

Once again in Madrid, we met Elena and Ana Arce along with their friends, and blueyellow founders, Caroline Heredia Abernethy and Luis Montenegro.
