From the publisher: "In his photobook CENSURA Julián Barón presents a workbased on the style of 'broken camera,' using powerfulflashes that blind both the viewer and the photographedcharacter and transforming that photographic error intoa political language. In that big circus that politics is, photography andcensorship are allied to each other in order to manipulatepeople through the false use of image as a document,using large mass media to subtly but constantlymask those aspects that do not respond to the claims ofthe parties, blurring and distorting reality.However, by focusing in a different way on politicsand its leaders, trying to use the camera in decomposition,it is also possible to make photography censorcensorship and then, negative against negative, offersomething positive, some new perspectives on politiciansand their superficial status, revealing how the state theydefend so hardly vanishes with their actions, their imagesand all the paraphernalia that surrounds the ivory towerin which they believe they live in.".
