It is not that fiction and reality are opposing terms, but rather that fiction is a mode, an instrument for articulating a certain model of the real, reflects Joan Fontcuberta.
Fiction that Fontcuberta proposes confronted with the reality that García Alix constructs. Memory and ambiguity that are present in the work of these two artists so disparate, so opposed in their way of understanding photography that they seem to reach the same levels of truthfulness and falsehood.

Black and white photography is a classical technique but so difficult that it is only discovered through great photographers. It is no wonder they were awarded the National Photography Prize in 1998 and 1999.
