The next Friday, September 26, at 19,30h in El Museu del Suro in Palafrugell, Girona, begins the V Biennial Xavier Miserachs that will be open till the 19 of October, an homage to the great photographer that spent his last years in this Costa Brava village. I have the great pleasure to participate in this Biennial with my exhibition “On the Threshold of Change” and with a little speech about Xavier Miserachs.

ON THE THRESHOLD OF CHANGE” (Life in Spain during Transition)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
This exhibition is a photographic document about the life in Spain during the seventies and the beginning of the eighties. All started when in the year 2000, reviewing old photographs, I found one of the very fist pictures I took, in Bellvitge, still a teenager, using my father’s Contaflex. I realized that time had given this image an important added value that, perhaps, was not there in the moment I took the photo.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
That was the starting point, together with the students fight in Franco’s last years that I photographed when I started to study Economics at Barcelona University, to go through all my stock. I ended up with a documentary photo collection that journalist Xavier Vinader named “On the Threshold of Change”.
