SUPERSTARS, KENAI ALKAZAR

Taking as its central focus the snapshots made by Andy Warhol in the mid-twentieth century and extrapolating that work to the Spanish society of the twenty-first century, the author has dedicated almost a decade to portraying with a Polaroid those references, idols, myths and icons that have symbolized dissent, authenticity and that, definitively, have changed his life.

Superstars. A visual essay on aesthetics, pop culture and references is the result of a work of pop anthropology that seeks to analyze the power of aesthetics as a tool of self-construction and vindicates the figure of the reference as a fundamental cultural phenomenon, with the help of the most well-known and recognizable faces in our country.

More than one hundred and fifty unpublished snapshots accompanied by thirty interviews and surrounded by personal notes that invite us to take a unique journey through the universe of aesthetics while leading us to ask ourselves some questions and question absolutely everything that is established.
