Julieta Sans

Statement

“Well Read” is a series of portraits of people as a character from a fictional book of their choice, be it a classic novel, pulp fiction, poetry or children’s stories; in any case, highly personal recreations of works of fiction as chosen by the models.  The story behind every image is open to the spectators, giving place to myriad possible interpretations. Borrowing artifices from cinema to recreate fiction through a visual interpretation of the written word, the series goes beyond the mere portrayal of reality that is usually attributed to photography, lovingly integrating word and image.
