Arxiu Fotogràfic de Barcelona

Catalogue the exhibition Huellas. Humberto Rivas, comprising 53 photographs taken between 1995 and 2005, the result of a journey to track down locations and people linked with the Spanish Civil War. Whether it is the faces of people, or ruins or buildings, the photographs of Humberto Rivas (Buenos Aires, 1937–Barcelona, 2009) open up a fundamental panorama composed of absences and the effects of the passing of time. The silent gaze of the individuals and the obsolescence of the objects evoke a silenced memory.
