Karelia. miracles & Co, 2002

This is a "photo-essay" which reveals a farce: the monks of a mysterious monastery in Karelia (Finland) offered a course of interdenominational miracology. The work addresses fiction within fiction.

In addition Miracles & Co is a tribute to spirit photography and the language of comics. Fontcuberta creates a work of esperpentic poetics, with a strong theatrical dimension, in which through documents, photographs, videos and objects he de-dramatizes the irrational force of religious feelings, their economic mercantilism and their political instrumentalization.
