Good Luck with the Future is a journey of infinite paths, with a critical starting point and an uncertain destiny. It began as an exploration on how our generation lives and feels the future, to finish in an attempt to discover how do we perceive it ourselves. The project is about what could be, and what will be, although we do not know yet. What will never be, and also of what has been suddenly, without expecting it

This project is done in collaboration with Dani Pujalte.

Good Luck with the Future

Where Mimosa Bloom traces a walk across the memory. It tries to remember a mother who is no longer here through objects, persons and moments, which take us directly to her person. That’s an homage of Rita to her mother Yolanda. An attempt to assemble in a book her familiar universe.

Where Mimosa Bloom
Why the sky is blue? x Paloma Wool

Ijen is a volcano located in east Java, Indonesia, where you can find one of the last sky opened sulphur mines of the planet. Famous for the blue flames and for his acid lake, we decide to enter in his crater to discover his beauty and the trade of approximately four hundred miners, known for being one of the hardest and dangerous works of the world. These images show the cruelty of a reality in the frame of a supernatural landscape.
