The debut monograph of Sebastian Sabal-Bruce showcases a mesmerizing collection of portraits and landscapes, elegantly woven together in a cinematic and poetic sequence.
Primarily featuring the diverse places and faces Sabal-Bruce has encountered throughout his career, this work blurs the lines between fiction and documentary. It subtly weaves a narrative centered on a female protagonist emerging from the confining urban landscapes of cities like Tokyo and Manhattan.
As she traverses these spaces, a poignant dance ensues between the masks we wear and our authentic selves, juxtaposing alienating city streets with raw moonlit portraits.
The narrative's abstract and subtle essence encourages viewers to immerse themselves and derive personal interpretations.
Born in Chile, Sabal-Bruce's artistic journey spans various mediums. Beginning his career in drama in Santiago, he later pivoted towards fine arts in Spain, which serendipitously ushered him into photography. This intersection of theatre and photography allowed him to shed superfluous elements, directing viewers to the depth and essence of his subjects.
