EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant essence of Valencia's famous Las Fallas festival. In the heart of Plaza Ayuntamiento, a Papier Mache figure takes center stage atop a Bus Turistic, adding an element of whimsy and charm to the scene. The annual celebration, dedicated to St. Joseph, showcases the city's rich cultural heritage through elaborate caricatures and puppets known as ninots. The intricate craftsmanship of these figures is evident in their detailed features and satirical expressions, each telling its own unique story. As part of the festivities, these effigies are paraded through the streets amidst a sea of jubilant locals and visitors alike. The explosion of colors that fills every corner adds to the festive atmosphere as people come together to revel in this grand pageantry. However, it is important to note that behind all the merriment lies a deeper tradition - at midnight on March 19th, these magnificent creations are set ablaze symbolizing rebirth and renewal. Through Hugh Rooney's lens, we are transported into this enchanting world where art meets celebration. This print serves as a reminder not only of Spain's rich cultural tapestry but also how festivals like Las Fallas bring communities together in joyous harmony.
