Abstract

This article covers the way fifteen 3 x 4.5 meters big photographies are being shown between July 2018 and October 2019 in the Besòs River Park, which is a remarcable case of river recovery (‘blue path’). These fifteen big canvases represent that very same zone, and were made in 2017 following an assignment of the Catalan Architects Associaton to Manolo Laguillo. Those walking along that part of the river are confronted with photographies of their own surrounding. Experiencing them would never happen if they would been hanged on the walls of a gallery or museum. The huge amount of detail of these black and white photographies allows an observation of the landscape which goes beyond the usual one with nude eyes.
