Mikel Bastida: Anarene

A cinematic meditation on how physical settings and realities are shaped by fictional and popular narratives Spanish photographer Mikel Bastida (born 1982) makes staged photographs inspired by cinema and history. In this latest photobook he constructs a new vision of the United States through cinematic references such as the ghost town in Archer County, Texas, from Bogdanovich’s film adaptation of The Last Picture Show by McMurtry.
