Time Lapse. Lemonheads COVID-19 Special Edition - Aluminum Print Photograph

Available in different sizes and materials Please contact curator@saatchiart.com if you have questions TIME-LAPSE Project In 2011, photographer Xan Padrón began his series Time-Lapse. His fascination with time and movement along with his ability to disappear behind his camera led him to reflect about how much life happens in the supposedly most insignificant places of a city. Time-Lapse are human portraits of cities around the world. They are also quotidian expressions, that combined, create a unique narrative of life on a wall, in a place in the world. For Xan Padrón, the voluntary detention of movement where action becomes an observation led him to center himself on a completely different vision from his street photography, documenting the ecosystem of cities and finding beauty through pause and through the small, collective gestures of daily life. LEMONHEADS: Created in Spain during COVID-19 pandemic. During my confinement in Galicia I couldn't stop doing, making and creating, and although I knew that everything I was creating was ephemeral, the process of making it brought me so much joy and hope that I began experimenting with things I had around me. You can see the results in these two pieces: the “Time Lapse Series: Lemonheads COVID 19 Special Edition”, with lemons and branches from our lemon tree “passing by” and old door, and “The secret life of Lemonheads” a real imaginary building in which one could just imagine the secret life of this magical and unique community: the Lemonheads :)
