Torres was there with the NGO on wheels dentists dedicated to fix your mouth to Africans.

Furthermore, the author of Africa in images indicated that the 36 photographs have them done in black and white to keep the viewer's attention to focus on mundane details of the images: Maybe what interests me is the look the sitter and it happens wearing a colorful shirt that distracts our attention, with white and black does not happen, well back to the origins of my photography.
The author wanted to tell on a personal and intimate through the eyes of the players photographed, nature loving, peaceful, friendly and detached from a people who not have any material gift you with a smile and being interested in you will get around in on its particular comment ca va French (how are you) or comment táppelles (like your name).
The exhibition will be open until August 30 at the Cultural Center Luzzy Ramon Alonso.
