Afanador emerges from the tension between the fascination that emanates from Ruven Afanador’s photos, and my own fascination with all the mystery, so diurnal and yet so nocturnal, that once fascinated Ruven.
Marcos Morau
Ruven Afanador’s photography is not documentary or monumental—it doesn’t archive history or glorify its subjects. Instead, it is driven by desire, distorting and being distorted by its object. Desire, elusive by nature, shapes what it sees, revealing subjective and profound truths.
Afanador approaches Andalusian folklore through this lens, exposing flamenco’s raw subconscious—its passion, death, and untold stories. His work amplifies its essence into a surreal, evocative world of shadow and light, where he both observes and is observed.
Our work extends this vision, capturing Afanador’s gaze and the transformative power of photography. Like Goya’s Caprichos, these images blend familiar themes through association and metamorphosis, turning photography into both miracle and mystery. Each shot lingers just beyond reach, on the verge of vanishing into its own fire.

Bringing together Bach and Miley Cyrus, she creates with “Kill Me” a complete and radical work, sometimes unsettling, sometimes subversive, but always impactful.
Olivier Frégaville-Gratian d’Amore
Kill me (2024) is the continuation of Love me (2022) and Fuck me (2020), in turn it is part of the project “ Remember to live ”, in which I intend to present different versions of works until the day of my death.
Entering into the cliché of the midlife crisis, I began to film everything I did: with my heart open 24 hours a day, I recorded everything.
Until one day I collapsed, I was given a psychiatric diagnosis and I decided to make my next piece out of it. I called on four dancers with mental disorders and Nijinsky, to make a piece that talks about madness for love.
But let’s say that the topic is about mental health so that it enters the inclusive agenda of the art market.
Because that is my punishment, having to make works that sell and thus stay alive in the world (of theater).
