Alberto García-Alix

Photography exhibition by Alberto García-Alix at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, featuring portraits, self-portraits and symbolically charged objects in black and white, centred on the body, time and loss.

The exhibition brings together photography by Alberto García-Alix, a leading figure in contemporary Spanish photography. His work is presented as a fragmentary and personal visual narrative, built around the experience of time, the body, desire, loss and death. The display includes portraits, self-portraits, objects with symbolic charge and scenes of everyday life.

Black and white, dense and high-contrast, is the main language of these images, in which light and shadow carry particular weight. The bodies appear marked and vulnerable, photographed from within, without distance or irony. The proposal engages with the classical tradition of portraiture and with a contemporary sensibility centred on the author's gaze upon himself.

It may appeal to those drawn to author photography and works of an autobiographical nature, with a frontal gaze that confronts the viewer. The exhibition is presented at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, which hosts exhibitions and cultural activities in Barcelona.
