Pedro G. Romero
Pedro G. Romero (b. 1964) is a multi-skilled artist, a photographer, an exhibition organiser and the artistic director of Flamenco dancer and choreographer Israel Galván. For several years now, he has been leading ambitious artistic research into the political and social emptiness of modern satellite towns.
In his video La Casa (2005), viewers discover Galván the dancer measuring up an apartment in Badia del Vallès, a town close to Barcelona consisting mainly of council housing. By dancing from one room to the next, Galván casts a new light on our more or less standardised living environments and he does so with humour.
