At the end of 2013, ¡AHLAN!, Nuria Carrasco’s fake Hello! magazine project, was selected as one of the best photographic reports of the year by Martin Parr and the British Journal of Photography. Her work uses satire and irony to depict the reality of a situation largely ignored by the international community: life in the Saharan Tindouf camps. Nuria spoke to us about her artistic process and her views on how art can have a subtle influence on public opinion by ‘problematising’ and putting an image to situations and concepts that we find uncomfortable, or tend to forget.
