Sinopsis
"The Waiting Game" reúne la serie fotográfica que Txema Salvans realizó durante seis años a lo largo de la costa mediterránea española.
Se trata de un cuadro certero sobre la necesidad y el deseo, donde concepto y plasticidad encajan perfectamente. La esencia de su trabajo radica en la exploración de la amplia y variada paleta de conductas y anhelos humanos a menudo sorprendente.
En su recorrido, Txema fotografió en su contexto la prostitución que se ejerce en la carretera: los cruces y las rotondas, las calles sin salida de los polígonos, los arcenes; espacios que quedan al margen de todo y que le sirven como marco escénico para mostrar una actividad tan sobreexpuesta como la prostitución.

Reseña del editor
The Waiting Game gathers a series of photographs taken by Txema Salvans in the course of six years along the Mediterranean coastline of Spain. It forms a striking tableau of necessity and desire, with concept and visual expression fitting perfectly together. The essence of the work is an exploration of the varied and often surprising gamut of human longings and behaviors. Txema photographed the exercise of prostitution along the roads and highways in its actual context: the intersections and roundabouts, the dead-end street of the polygons, the shoulders of the road. Marginal places that provide the setting for an activity as over-exposed as prostitution. The procedure carried out by Txema Salvans to achieve his goal lent the exploration an almost scientific character. First he identified the places and protagonists, then he approached them “camouflaged” as a surveyor. It was only thus that he was able to carry out this project situated halfway between sociological dissection and naturalistic narration. In this approach to prostitution, the solitary figure of the waiting woman, with her stereotypical image of sexual object, appears in a middle ground that is striking and even tragic.
Reseña del editor
Gathering a series of photographs taken by Txema Salvans (born 1971) over the course of six years, "The Waiting Game" documents the exercise of prostitution along the highways of Spain's Mediterranean coast. Disguised as a surveyor, Salvans photographed prostitution with an emphasis on the decidedly unerotic quality of its actual environs: the intersections, roundabouts, dead-end streets and shoulders of the road. The photographs in this book present the solitary figure of the waiting woman as a stereotypical image of objectified sexuality, in a landscape that is both striking and tragic. Exploring the varied and often surprising gamut of human longings and behaviors, Salvans achieves a balance of sociological dissection and naturalistic narration, and presents the image of the prostitute as an almost impersonal component of a larger mechanism.
