Soledades by Gilles Roudière is a striking black-and-white photobook that explores the emotional terrain of solitude, mystery, and everyday poetry. Shot largely throughout Spain, the images move between shadow and sunlight, following anonymous figures, small gestures, and surreal fragments of ordinary life. Roudière’s photographs feel both raw and dreamlike—rooted in the real world yet drifting into something more symbolic, more internal.
Known for his humanistic and intuitive approach, Roudière builds a visual language out of contrasts: silence and movement, light and darkness, presence and disappearance. Soledades reads like a wandering journey through scenes that aren’t meant to explain themselves, but instead to be felt, absorbed, and carried.
