Closed Island
The work looks at Menorca outside the tourist season, when daily rhythms slow and much of the island sits unused.
In autumn, winter and early spring, the island moves from active destination to quiet ground. Infrastructure remains, but much of it stands inactive.
The photographs stay with that pause: places detached from their usual function, readable under a different light and a different pace.
The series does not compare seasons. It stays with the island when activity thins out, so roads, buildings and open land can be seen without the summer demand placed on them.
Manuel Pinar, Menorca, 2009
