Explicar històries, plantejar preguntes i generar inquietuds són els nusos de les fotografies de Joan Sorolla en els darrers anys. Uns temps que l’han retornat a la fotografia analògica i a un cert conceptualisme. Aprofundir en la memòria , especialment la col·lectiva, i el pas del temps són també aspectes importants del seu treball. El seu treball se centra especialment en les empremtes-marques de l'acció humana sobre el terrirori i en la memòria. Procura que cada imatge que publica tingui un significat per ella mateixa. Inevitablement però, aquestes fotografies s’acabaran associant amb altres, unes vegades en petites sèries o també formant-ne altres de més grans. Defensa el rol social del fotògraf, vinculat a la seva comunitat, deixant testimoni del seu temps i del seu entorn immediat. La fotografia no ens mostra LA realitat sinó UNA realitat.

Telling stories, raising questions and generating concerns are the core of Joan Sorolla's most recent work. A time that has brought him back to analogue photography, to some conceptualism and to historical research too. Delving into memory, especially collective memory, and the passage of time are also important aspects of his work. He tries to ensure that each image he publishes has a meaning of its own. Inevitably, these photographs will end up being associated with others, sometimes in small series, sometimes in larger series. He defends the social role of the photographer, linked to his community, bearing witness to his time and his immediate reality. Photography does not show us THE reality but ONE reality.
