What relationship do we, human beings, have with our bodies? How does the body relate to the space we inhabit? What does it express about us? The organic nature of the subject and the cadences of its movement provide the visual motif from which students on the Master in Photography and Design course at the Elisava University School of Design and Engineering in Barcelona have created a photographic intervention that explores the building of the Can Framis Museum.
The display, consisting of intimate gazes, reflections on femininity and exercises in deconstructing the body - assimilated into an architectural setting - interact with paintings from the collection. Pieces by Mario Pasqualotto, Francesc Ruestes, Isidre Manils, Alfons Borrell, Josep Niebla, Hernández Pijuan and Arranz Bravo, amongst others, are part of a painterly-photographic meeting articulating a narrative between the interior and exterior of the museum, the visible and the invisible, the body and the soul, and content and form.
