FRANCISCO

GONZALEZ CAMACHO

Francisco Gonzalez Camacho (b. 1990) is a Spanish

photographer based in Helsinki. His practice can be

denominated as contemporary social documentary

photography which focuses on small stories and themes

such as family and immigration. He often explores

ideas such as displacement, the landscape as a coping

strategy, and nature as a transcendental space.

“Challenging the restless feeling of not belonging,

otherness and the cultural constraints, the landscape

has offered me a cathartic relief, shaping a renewed

sense of connectedness with nature. Making both real

and imaginary landscapes, I dissolve space and time,

creating an interruption, an absence, giving a feeling of

being elsewhere. Reality is suspended, reminding us we

are just a small part of nature, united with it.”
