Street photography circuit: “Unpublished Carme Garcia”
on thursday May 7th we open the exhibition “Unpublished Carme Garcia”. A street circuit through emblematic spaces of the Gothic quarter that will host images of the photographer.
About the exhibition
The street exhibition Unpublished Carme Garcia is a proposal from the Pati Llimona Civic Center and the Agrupació Fotogràfica de Catalunya with the intention of paying tribute to a distinguished and long-gone resident of the neighborhood and member of the AFC. The images displayed in the street will show us a little-known side of his career: his most experimental work.
In the privacy of her home laboratory, Carme Garcia developed a highly coherent and modern work, exploring innovative techniques that place her as a figure ahead of her time. All of this reveals a restless artist, with a refreshing look and a sensibility capable of transforming photography into a field of visual experimentation.
Carme Garcia was closely linked to the Agrupació Fotogràfica de Catalunya, especially to its Women’s Group. The donation of a large part of his work to the organization promotes the dissemination of this legacy as a benchmark of modernity. Thus, on the occasion of the Enfocats Festival, a selection of his photographs will be located in different emblematic places in the Gothic Quarter.
