Book Presentation: Veri, Orangina & Aperol Spritz by Sofia Paris & Andreu de Pedro May 23, 2025

This book, conceived by a duo of Spanish artists, captures the temporal image of a Mediterranean summer. Created during a summer journey, the works gathered here aim to depict both the connections that bind us to one another, and our relationship to the Mediterranean Sea.

Veri, Orangina & Aperol Spritz is a photographic and aesthetic account of an endless summer around the Mediterranean Sea—its people, its lands, its history.

Through the story of a journey around the Mediterranean, the book tells a love story that borders on the universal. The images assembled here embody the love between a man and a woman, but also—above all—the love of people for this “sea in the middle of the land,” its waters, its culture, its history.

Inspired by ancient heroes and Homeric texts, the artist duo offers a visual, sensitive, and intimate exploration of a geographic space that continues to fascinate us.
