Urbanites want to use renewable energies, but these are accompanied by large wind and photovoltaic infrastructures that transform and brighten the landscape of the rural areas where they tend to be installed. The towns have been mobilizing in recent years against the destruction of their fields and forests. This invasion in the name of ecology causes the death of birds, the stake of trees and the seed of cables, towers and electrical substations for its landscape: “renewable yes, but not like that”. Andreu Esteban supports the claims by photographing the visible and invisible scars of this phenomenon full of uncertainties that raises many questions: who decides the destiny of the territory? What happens when land becomes a resource? Esteban's proposal documents the transformation of the Valencian landscape in the face of the expansion of energy development and its social consequences, environmental and symbolic. It can be seen in the exhibition No Man's Land which is part of the fifth edition of the Fragments project promoted by the Union of Valencian Journalists for the promotion of the photoassay and the visual memory.
