The director of the Biodiversity Foundation of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and the Environment, Sonia Castañeda, inaugurated today, at the Foundation’s headquarters in Seville, the photographic exhibition “Fractals, the marshes and Doñana”, which shows the fractal structures of the Andalusian marshes, including those of the Doñana National Park. Its purpose is to make these spaces known from a new perspective in order to raise awareness among visitors about their conservation.
 
The exhibition, which can be visited free of charge throughout 2016 at the headquarters of the Biodiversity Foundation in Seville (Plaza Patio de Banderas 16) from Monday to Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., shows the harmonious forms that water and sand have shaped for centuries in Doñana.
 
Sonia Castañeda was accompanied during the inauguration by the deputy director of the Autonomous National Parks Agency, Montserrat Fernández, and the photographer of the exhibition himself, Héctor Garrido, among others. Gervasio Iglesias, co-producer of the film “Marshland”, who was inspired by the Doñana marshes to film some of the scenes in the film, also attended the inauguration.  
 
The exhibition includes a selection of the best images from the work “Fractals. Intimate Anatomy of the Marsh”, by Héctor Garrido himself, with more than 200 aerial images of this enclave.
 
These images served as inspiration for the production of the Spanish film “Marshland”, by Alberto Rodríguez, awarded in 2015 with ten Goya Awards and which shows among its many scenes the marshes of the Guadalquivir included in Garrido’s work.
