The photograph featured in GOOD Edition belongs to a group of work in progress called 'Don't leave me alone'. It is about solitude, loneliness, about leaving the city to live in the countryside, about the losing of all things loved. Roger took this photo of two friends. It was dark night, both were drunk and they hugged each other while they fell down. Roger captured this moment with complicated feelings - love of his friends and yet in fear of losing them.
Roger Guaus (Spain) lives and works in Barcelona. Contrary to first appearances, Guaus is not attempting to document his life or explore journalistic work per se, nor is he endeavouring to develop any conceptual idea through his images. For him, the real difficulty is to find the "photographic state" that allows him to take photographs with the emotion and deep feeling of belonging associated with the specific experiences that define a life, his life. He treats recurrent subjects and themes throughout the trajectory of his work, having said "with time I realize that loneliness, love and pain are elements that I repeat constantly." His work in progress is based on what he calls "Photograpy of the Experience," a collection of images of his life's experience since he left Barcelona to live in the countryside. Since the beginning of 2007, he has been represented by the Galeria Sicart in Barcelona.
