Com la vida mateixa

This exhibition invites visitors to immerse themselves in the visual world of Juan Miguel Morales, a photographer who has made honesty and closeness his hallmark.

The exhibition brings together 40 black-and-white photographs by Juan Miguel Morales, whose work focuses on closeness and honesty towards the people he portrays. The itinerary is conceived as a dialogue between different worlds, and the common thread is a humanist gaze that seeks the person rather than the character, whether in music, in boxing or on the street.

A highlighted section is devoted to Troba Cubana, alongside portraits of Luis Eduardo Aute and Lluís Llach and of other musicians. Another part of the show approaches social and cultural realities, from the dignity of the Quechua people to the visibility of the LGTBI community in the Festa del Info-Gai series. The circus, fairs and boxing complete the route, with the contrast between the fantasy of the circus and fairs and the physical toughness of boxing.

All the images are in black and white, without colour, to focus attention on the light, the shadow and the gesture of the person in each photograph. The exhibition is coordinated by Martí Parés.
