Being able to look at a photograph and say 'that's a Casal' is something you'll be able to do, after taking in two or three of his artworks. Mixing facts and fantasy, the blue-y grey patina re-imagines what we expect to find at the waters edge. If NFT's are a pathway down the rabbit hole, Waterworld is a wonderland  destination you'll discover along the way.

"'Waterworld' is in turn an exercise in photographic solitude, whispers and silences." says Xose Casal.... "It is my personal approach to long exposure photography, where I seek a dialogue between the real and unreal, with easily recognizable objects, product of human activity, situated in a dreamy environment."

Surreal Scenes

Over on Foundation, the surreal scene comes alive with the robots of our youth...Stormtroopers! Xose introduces us to the leisurely life of Startroopers, when their galactic soldiering duties are done.

"Since I was a child I have had a fixation the the Stormtroopers. In fact they were and still are my favourite Star Wars character, and I always have wonder how their private life is."
