In Barcelona, there are only a few days left to visit these 3 exhibitions:
–World Press Photo Barcelona, open until Sunday 11th, where you can see the best that photojournalism has to offer through 155 photos selected from the 82,951 that were submitted to the competition. The Photographic Social Vision Foundation brings this sample to Barcelona, and you can see the photos in the Barcelona Centre of Contemporary Culture (CCCB), which will make visitors reflect on the most notable events that took place during 2015 such as the refugee crisis and their flight to Europe, the earthquake in Nepal and the attack against the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
-‘Ramón Llull. La máquina de pensar’ (Ramón Llull. The thinking machine) will also close its doors this Sunday at the CCCB. This exhibition explores the impact that Llull has had on art, literature, science and technology. It covers the influence that the work of this philosopher has had over the centuries, by combining historic documents and the most recent visions of artists who have been inspired by his work, such as David Link, Ralf Baecker and Perejaume.
–‘Yo quería ser fotógrafo’, (I wanted to be a photographer), co-produced by the Foundation, which you can visit until Saturday 10th December at the Foto Colectania headquarters. This exhibition pays homage to photography, its techniques and aesthetics, through 11 contemporary projects that pay particular attention to aspects such as authorship, originality and materiality of images as a fundamental aspect in the creation of current photography.
