"In the L-Calendar each month is celebrated with the presence of two bodies, as if the photographer wants to suggest that the body is the landscape to bring into light all the other subjects that shape daily life.

I believe that many decisions in life are aesthetical statements, either intuitive or justified by reasoning.

It seems that for Cristina de la Madera the black/white image proposes a perspective for the world: the experience of intimacy with one’s own and with the other, specially framed by the experience of time suspension.

The photographs of this calendar call life, not the prudent day, not the repressive day, not the flawy day… but the free day, the accomplice one, that that expresses the desire of union, lasting or ephemeral. A day after the other, a month after the other, a year after the other… time as a renewed possibility of being alive and free."
