KBr Photography Center Exhibitions
Paolo Gasparini, Photography and Photobook
This exhibition gives a complete account of Paolo Gasparini's career, emphasizing not only his photography but also the photobook, which is a fundamental narrative mechanism for defining the history of photography in Latin America. His images articulate a critique of consumer society while also uncovering a certain fascination with the way we are enticed by advertising and marketing through his own visual language.
Flama 21
KBr Photography Center approached the Flama 21 project with the critical participation of four Barcelona schools that concentrate on the study and teaching of photography: Grisart, Idep Barcelona, IEFC, and the Elisava Faculty of Design and Engineering. Laura Gálvez-Rhein, Blanca Munt, Gael del Ro, and Gunnlöð Jóna Rúnarsdóttir were the four photographers chosen for the 2021 edition of this exhibition.
