Artist Statement:
 
Zurriola Beach is part of Gustavo Jabbaz's ongoing series Moments, which consists of fragmented panoramic images of people and places. Jabbaz selects busy spots and photographs mundane activities taking place in front of his lens over a period of time and then turns these into long collages, producing denser and more active scenes than reality has to offer. Playing on the perception of various recognizable spots allows the viewer to imagine their own narrative for the image. For Zurriola Beach, Gustavo shot at Zurriola beach, San Sebastian, Spain for several days.
