Music Boxes is a photographic project by Luis Diaz Diaz that has been selected for for Brussels photography and architecture Biennial back in 2010. Diaz revisits the open air stages used for orchestras and concerts during the yearly local festivals in rural Galica, in northern Spain.

“These simple constructions, put in place by the people of each town or village, served for years as the place of celebration, hosting all types of musical performances and festivities. The project documents these structures and their environment, now disused and in deterioration which in past times were cental to the lives and the history of the local people. Now they lie empty and abandoned, having been replaced by modern mobile stages. Leaving the spectator only with their imagination to contemplate the activities of which these places were once the heart,” says Luis Diaz Diaz. ❚
