Alice in Photographs

Abelardo Morell's photography tends to feel disorienting. He takes objects & situations that the audience is comfortable & familiar with & transforms the subject matter into something that is foreign, yet strangely recognizable, eliciting a dreamy, almost deja vu-like experience. Morell's series entitle Childhood draws up nostalgic, barely graspable, memories of being a very young child, while another series which he calls Alice in Wonderland straddles the line between reality & what it is to be immersed in a book. By viewing his photos it becomes easy to understand why his work has been a part of numerous exhibits in museums all over the world.
