Behind the Lane is a series of photographs taken in places between the countryside and the city where we find waste and consumer objects. In this case Christian Lagata uses photography as a tool to document the result of the sculptures made with this waste, giving them another meaning in juxtaposition with the natural landscape.

Christian Lagata (1986) is amultidisciplinary artist based in Madrid.
He is interested in the image and imbrication of this medium with other disciplines such as sculpture and installation. As well as visual media, music and the creation of scenography and environments. Trying to convey an experience, an event or a state of mind is his main excuse when developing a project.
He investigates the relationship between the individual and his environment, about the spaces we inhabit and about contemporary forms of domestic life and the state of the objects that inhabit an era of wild mediatic reproduction. His work process is based on finding, combining and remixing poor materials, found objects and waste, signs that encourage him to experiment with new ways of interpreting what surrounds us.
The Fall
The Fall is a work in progress in which I recover poor materials and found objects and store them in my studio and then photograph them in a black box with a net. Simulating the safety nets of the construction works that we find in the city and in which all types of debris and objects are stored. Alluding to the contemporary city, consumerism and the importance of the relationship we establish as individuals with these spaces. Formalizing the photographs in a format that is closest to the advertising images that we find in the supports of the urban space itself.
