Manila. Ricky Davila.

In this book dedicated to the work of Ricky Dávila (Bilbao, 1964), more than one hundred and seventy black and white photographs are collected in which the city of Manila is portrayed. Children, prostitutes, boxers, outcasts and street vendors are the anonymous figures that circulate in urban landscapes and that the artist captures among the crowds of passers-by who meet him. Through the successive images that have been gathered, you can see the extent to which it is about identifying a city and a country, which preserves a large part of its traditions and culture, but which has not been able to escape the impact of the political, economic and cultural globalization, like the other countries in the region.
