The exhibition and publication “Oriol Maspons Ibiza” reveal the free-spirited life of Ibiza between the 1950s and 1980s through the lens of photographer Oriol Maspons. The publication, which coincides with Book Day in Spain, showcases previously unseen photographs that capture the essence of Ibiza’s sun-drenched beaches, party scenes, and relaxed, nudist lifestyle. According to Alex Maspons, Oriol’s son and curator of the collection, these photographs represent a “lifestyle of pure freedom.” This sentiment is echoed by individuals who see familiar faces in the images, including a woman in Barcelona who searched for her father, a hippy from Ibiza, within the book’s pages. The publication, handled by IDEA, is part of a broader effort to preserve and celebrate this unique historical period, reflecting a less commercial, more authentically hedonistic era of Ibiza.
