Overview
- The exhibition, inaugurated today in Vigo, presents 31 square photographs measuring 50x50 cm and remains on view through May 10, 2026.
- Sendón’s project tracks three scarecrows in Fisterra from 2012 to 2025, extending a focus that began in 2007 and was first consolidated in his 2015 book Espantallos.
- The most recent photographs from December show one figure gone, another toppled, and a third reduced to its iron spine.
- The artist frames the sequences as a metaphor for the state of Galician agriculture and, in recent years, sees the reading expanding to global conditions.
- The installation highlights vernacular recycling and challenges the urban label of feísmo, which Sendón criticizes as a classist ‘mental colonization.’
