Work in Progress

The images by Jose Manuel Ballester in this book commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Spanish engineering corporation Ferrovial show the highways, airports, subways and tunnels built by the company all around the world. Images of a grandeur that transcends human nature, shown only through their footprints to draw attention to the settings and places. For this reason, the Spanish photographer has resorted to the panoramic format, which offers the feeling of being at the limit of what is encompassed.
