Pascual Martínez and Vincent Sáez win the XVII Photography Prize of the University of Murcia (11/05/2018)

The project 'The tree of life is eternally green' has been the winner of the seventeenth prize of photography of the UMU, endowed with 1,200 euros.

To this edition 50 participants have been presented, with more than 126 photographs.

`The tree of life is eternally green` speaks of nature, of its wild, pure state, of the way in which it is respected and taken care of and of the relationship that the human being establishes with it.

For this, Martínez and Sáez focus on Romania as one of the most "orientalized" exponents in the preservation and revitalization of the natural heritage, since both in its knowledge, development and conservation of the environment, it is more similar to Eastern canons than to Westerners

Pascual Martínez is from Murcia and Vincent Sáez is from Alicante living in Murcia.

Both photographers decided to start working together in 2013, and use photography as a means of anthropological exploration, seduced by human relations and the study of society.

They carry out projects that reflect identity from the perspective of the natural environment as the main axis of their discourse, trying to transmit and represent new realities away from stereotypes.

This work has just culminated with the publication of a photobook that has been awarded the ArtsLibris Fundació Banc Sabadell Prize.

The book has been defined as "a work of great beauty, a visual gift in the form of a journey through an unknown Romania, a test of what is achieved with effort, courage and love."

Martínez and Sáez have been invited by the Romanian Cultural Institute to present their book next June at the 77th Madrid Book Fair, where this year the guest country is Romania.
