NOSTALGIA
In these ex-Soviet regions it is not difficult to find older men and women talking to homesick from that time. It is the case of the protagonist of our history, that while we nostalgically explains the values that gave him his true homeland, proudly shows us those documents and collections that he preserves carefully and that seems to help him return to that past where everything It was simpler.
The moment, the conversation, the history, the passion that it transmits... everything flows so naturally that it makes the shooting with the camera to be simple and fast.
"We live in an anesthetized society that needs to be aware of real stories that make them awaken from that deep sleep that has subjected this current system, get out of the couch and act".
Born in Girona, Cristian Giráldez's begins to form as a professional photographer in 2013 in "Grisart International School of Photography" specializing in lighting and video.

entry description
The slip gear of the Soviet flag and the hoisting of the Russian flag over the Kremlin on that Christmas night of 1991 meant the end of a time. For the new generations it meant a change to the future, but for those who had grown up under the old order meant the loss of their way of life. They did not see with good eyes the change and more than 25 years later they continue to live nostalgic of a life and a future that they snatched from them.In these ex-Soviet regions it is not difficult to find older men and women talking to homesick from that time.
