At this stage of his 15-year process of creating the iconic Blindness collection, Javier Martin presents a continuation of this series: it concerns the appropriation of light, the struggle and contraposition of natural, artificial, and reflected light, and the visual definition of the complex characteristics of light.
Within the beauty of the seductive models lies the falseness per se: these women have been taken out of their world context of spotlights and placed as illusions for the viewer between idyllic landscapes and cold neon lights. They are portrayed as serene, often exotic and belonging to almost all beauty ideals. With the help of their beauty and self-confidence, they seduce and, at the same time, force the viewers to take place in their world: behind the light, in total blindness and delusion.
