This exhibition includes the photographic visual culture of the city of Barcelona in the last decade, not as a canon or solution, but as a space for questions: Is it possible to speak of a visual identity in Barcelona? Is it possible to speak of a different look from local photography practices that leads to a series of common representations also differentials?
Structured in thematic blocks, its route alternates historically consecrated figures and creators of recent generations - from Catalan photographers with international projection to those who shape the daily image of the city's media - within a narrated chain: the of the social uses of photography in the production of the imaginary that constitute the visual culture of Barcelona. It also incorporates a large volume of media - from analog photography to digital manipulation, file assembly or diaporames - and crosses all possible genres - from the photography of urban to fashionable forms, going on for its uses in contemporary art, counterfotographic practices, portrait or photojournalism. A choral portrait that also seeks to promote the debate, reflection and production of public knowledge about the photography sector at the present time.
