An Interview with Xavier Ribas
No full textXavier Ribas is a photographer. Informed by a background in social anthropology, his work examines the often peripheral landscapes in which histories are shaped and contested: the tightly enforced borders of Spanish enclaves in North Africa; weapons factories embedded in British cities; the disparate global sites connected by the commodity of Chilean nitrate. These investigations are presented using image, text and archival material in sprawling networks of interconnected exhibitions, talks and publications. A lecturer at the University of Brighton, he has exhibited at MACBA in Barcelona, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and George Eastman House in Rochester, NY, among many others.Interview by Louis Rogers Portrait by Mary Good
