Santa Barbara save US

With these 3 chapters we´ve been able to create characters in the photobook form; the velvet, the paper, the typography, the fire, the darkness, the contrasts, the fear, the violence, the hope repeat throughout the books to create bigger questions of the past, present and future of a country in crisis.

Like Jonathan Blaustein writes in this books´intro: "Alejandro's pictures in this project, since the beginning, have channeled that fear of fire, the engulfing heat, the insatiable flames, devouring everyone and everything, leaving charred scars behind...So what now? If Alejandro can see the future? How is this book, the last in the trilogy, different and new? Well, it's confident in its bleak outlook. All jangled cuts and charged-up juxtapositions. Nothing friendly emerges, nowhere calm to rest your weary nerves. But then something fresh arrives. It looks like military. Or NASA. Maybe a nuclear facility? Recurring, in black and white.

What does it mean?

We see control rooms, and the back of video monitors. Ominous names like flame-bucket.

Finally, near the end of the book, there's "missile power" and a rocket launch pad as well.

Missles. Rockets. Nukes."
