My Kingdom by Txema Salvans offers a sharp, witty commentary on contemporary Spanish society. Combining black-and-white photos of ordinary beachgoers with political speeches from King Juan Carlos I, Salvans cleverly contrasts everyday leisure moments with the rhetoric of power. The images capture scenes of people napping, sunbathing, and playing while the king’s words speak of authority and democracy. This juxtaposition reveals a deeper look at the power and personal freedom dynamics, making it a thought-provoking exploration of human behaviour and control in modern Spain.
