Lalibela: Cristina Garcia Rodero

They are black-and-white images that bear Garcia Rodero's unmistakable mark. The viewer is captivated by the intense spirituality and the vibrant protagonism of the human body as it engages in religious rites, as captured by the photographer. In Garcia Rodero's own words: "For years, I've been trying to complete two facets of my work in which I always think jointly: body and spirit." In Lalibela, the author photographs the Coptic celbrations of Epipheny and Easter, portraying the Coptic Ethiopians, their rituals and the vehement religiosity of their praying bodies.
