"Lobismuller" is a collection of works by Spanish female photographer Laia Abril (1986-). A contemporary artist who crosses the fields of journalism and visual art, Abril has tackled socially overlooked themes such as sex, gender, violence, and physicality. Known for her style that combines documentary and poetic composition, Abril develops a multimedia expression that interweaves photographs, videos, texts, and archival materials. Her sharp perspective and research-based approach to production have earned her international acclaim. This book is a collection of works that depict the intersection of gender, myth, and social oppression, using Manuel Blanco Romasanta, a real serial killer from 19th century Spain, as its subject. Abril attempts to reconstruct vision and narrative by illuminating the possibilities of "femininity" from a modern perspective in this character who has been spoken of as a "werewolf." The composition combines fictional letters, archival photographs, and documents to focus on voices that have been erased in history and to question the framework of "normality" that we unconsciously hold.
