Espagne Occulte by Cristina Garcia Rodero. First impression of this Contrejour edition from 1990 in as new condition, no markings, text in French About Espagne Occulte This tour de force by recently "discovered" Spanish photographer Cristina García Rodero shows the people of Spain expressing the extremes of their traditional culture -- religious devotion mixes with profane and exotic celebrations. The outcome is a weird and exciting amalgam of images -- religious celebrations and processions, bull fights, dances, bacchanals, weddings, feasts, as well as funerals. Toreadors and midgets, housewives and priests, children and also the aged are captured in moments of passion, sadness, joy, abandon, and oblivion. This book introduces Americans to Rodero, well known in Spain but first discovered in the U.S. at Houston's Fotofest 1990.
