The exhibition of
Juan Baraja will consist of eight series of photographs that make up a large classification and selection of the author. It is one of the most complete collections of the photographer, so far.
The names of the eight selected series are:
Norlandia, Experimento Banana, Cerezales, Águas Livres, Parnaso, Hipódro- mo, Utopie Abitative and Y vasca / Euskal Y.
Juan Baraja works with the relationships that arise between architecture and the management of space through photography. Baraja travels with his camera through different points of the European geography, all of them diverse, but with a thread that unites them: they are spaces forgotten by time. For Alfredo Puente, curator of Juan Baraja's exhibition at the FCAYC (2020),
"Juan Baraja recovers a way of facing something in order to imagine it through fragments, with a different composition, far from the parameters that make the complete something rational and apprehensible".
Alfredo Puente.
