Defensa de la Vega — The Planned Orgiva’s Road By-Pass Superimposition
A group of neighbours and activists, who called themselves Defensa de la Vega, from Orgiva commissioned us to make a series of photographic compositions to help them raise awareness about a planned road by-pass and the way the local town hall and Junta de Andalucia decided to push through the road really close to their houses. They wanted us to go out and take pictures of the nature in the places, where the road is planned and superimpose a busy road there to show all of the other neighbours, what effect it will have on their lives and homes. Defensa provided us with a detailed map and plans of where the road is going to be and what it is going to look like. Most of the top end of the road by-pass is going to be raised on a bank, which is in average about 6 m heigh and 20 m wide.
The photo bellow shows, how the road is going to be. If you roll your mouse over the picture, you can compare, how the area looks before and after.
