InCadaquès is an annual photography festival that takes place in Spain.

Description

Tourmaline is composed of photographs taken in the northern Catalonian coastal region of Cadaquès and Cap de Creus during Yusuf Sevinçli’s ten-day residency in June 2019 for the InCadaquès Festival, Spain. In this black-and-white image of a figure running across a weedy, hilly meadow, motion blur and film grain add romanticism and mystery to the action. On his website, the artist describes the project: “These images are the outcome of the photographer’s immersion in a region, whose untamed landscape was, according to Salvador Dalí, ‘made for gods rather than men’. A passage through an uninhabited world of whispers, reveries, and luminous metamorphoses.”
