On view through 15 September at the Water Museum of Alicante is ‘The Caves of Steel,’ a traveling exhibition of architectural photography by Manuel Álvarez Diestro (Santander, 1972). Gathered are images taken by the Cantabrian photographer on five continents over the course of three decades, forming a visual narrative that captures how humanity has taken hold of the landscape through urbanization. The viewer can also intuit some of the imposible scenes that Isaac Asimov imagined in his novel The Caves of Steel. Here Diestro included pictures of the Mediterranean cities of Alicante, Torrevieja, and Benidorm, which connect with the discourse that creates poetic narratives lying beyond our everyday vision.
