Born in Orihuela, Alicante (Spain) in 1971, Ricardo Cases holds a BA in
Sciences of Information from the Universidad del País Vasco, Bilbao
(Spain). He currently lives between Madrid and Valencia.
His photographic work focuses on the yearnings of the human
being: the deep and universal longings of the citizen
of the mass society, fighting against banality in an effort
to transcend, confronting his own dignity with a medium
always untrustworthy. To this end, he turns his eye to expressions
of contemporary folklore, looking for the truth
of the Spaniard: a townsman who is forced to live in the
city, in modernity. Beyond a pop appearance distant and
cynical he is interested in what is human and anthropological.
Beyond the social and documentary, he searches
for the truthful and universal pulsations beating beneath
the banal surface often kitsch and lacking glamour of contemporary
Spain.
