Joan Fontcuberta's TRAUMA on view at Occurrence in Montreal

Arts.  Mont-real, 26/05/2017

Joan Fontcuberta’s latest works ‘Trauma’ attempts to understand what happens when a photograph abandons its image; when it is “freed from its soul”?  After having searched in photo archives (including in the author’s own) looking for patients in a traumatic state, Fontcuberta creates an ode to the remaining materiality in chemical photography




Joan Fontcuberta’s new work arises from the hypothesis that the images undergo an organic metabolism: they are born, they grow, and they reproduce and die to restart again the cycle of life.

Joan Fontcuberta (Barcelona, 1955) is a renowned conceptual photographer, as well as author, editor, curator and teacher, who played a significant role in gaining international recognition within the history Spanish photography.
