De la terra al cel, de Manel Garcia

Photographic exhibition by Manel Garcia exploring the surroundings of Barcelona, from the urban landscape and nature to aviation, with images of birds and light aircraft.

The Sala d'Exposicions hosts this photographic exhibition by Manel Garcia, titled « De la terra al cel », which invites visitors to look again at everyday surroundings with an attentive and technically careful eye. The route begins in the city: the works show the architecture of Barcelona and seek little-seen geometries, as well as plays of light and shadow that transform everyday buildings.

The route then opens out to nature, where flora and fauna take centre stage. Particular attention is paid to detail, with textures and colours from the natural world, and a collection of birds in which every feather and every gesture of the animal is captured. The air is another theme of the exhibition, in two strands: the organic, with the birds, and the mechanical, with images of light aircraft that evoke human ingenuity and the myth of Icarus.

The coordination is by Pedro García. The series engage with one another and trace a route from the city to the sky, designed for anyone who wants to observe the nearby landscape closely and see how photography reveals it.
