The main beach of Benidorm is an open-air theatre where natural beauty collides with the contradictions of mass tourism. This series explores its many faces, capturing the restless rhythm of a place that is both a gateway and a reflection of contemporary global dynamics.
Beneath the rows of umbrellas, people drift through routines of leisure, caught between authenticity and performance. Their pursuit of pleasure reshapes the landscape itself, where the impact of overcrowding and the fragile balance between urban growth and nature become silent yet looming protagonists, creating a tension between the desire for escape and the price paid to fulfil it.
Inspired by the ironic and irreverent gaze of Martin Parr, “That Summer Feeling” adopts a vibrant and satirical aesthetic to shed light on the complexities of this reality. In this universe, people are not just individuals but symbols and reflections of broader themes about humanity, consumerism, and the ambiguity of our relationship with nature.
