About the Artist
Christina de Middel is a Spanish-Belgian photographer born in Alicante in 1975. After 10 years as a photojournalist, Cristina De Middel shifted her practice
to a more conceptual approach in order to question the documentary value
of photography. In 2012 she produced the acclaimed series The Afronauts, triggering a decade of work around the role of photography in creating stereotypes. Besides her prolific career as an author, and as an active member of the photography community, Cristina has been invited to curate festivals like Lagos Photo, PhotoEspaña, and San José Photo in Uruguay. She has published more than 14 photobooks and her work is constantly on show in different institutions and venues. Cristina is also on the board of Vist Projects, a platform to support Latin American visual story-telling and she is a member of Magnum Photos agency and its president since 2022.

About the Publishers
This Book is True is a publishing house with a funny name for a reason we don’t recall. We are based in downtown Madrid (Spain). We are small but passionate about books and we are always looking for stories outside the norm and the general taste of the market, which is always a good business strategy (ironic mode ON). With our books we want to contribute to the very much needed visual education in photography, expanding our scope to artists that come from the periphery of the industry and that experiment with story-telling.
