El Rastro 1976–1984 — Javier Campano, Editorial Ojos de Buey 2024

A street market becomes a stage for a country in transition. Shot during Spain’s shift from dictatorship to democracy, these images capture El Rastro as a space of exchange, improvisation, and emerging freedoms. Campano moves through its dense crowds and fleeting encounters, registering gestures, objects, and atmospheres with immediacy. First gathered from work begun in the mid-1970s, the series reflects a moment when counterculture, informal economies, and public life converged into a new social landscape.
