Monday, 17th February
- Carlos Pérez Siquier (photo exhibition): The essence of what makes Carlos Pérez Siquier’s photography so valuable and interesting is the attention he pays to the real world around him, a world to which he has devoted his entire extensive career. His innovative approach, an ability to see the possibilities where seemingly there are none and his passion for photography all help make up one of the most powerful and important bodies of Spanish photography work of the last few decades. Pérez Siquier is not a photographer who constantly looks from one side to the other, instead he constructs his own world without attempting to follow a traditional format. Step by step he creates a compact work in constant evolution: an original, extraordinary, local, small, reduced and yet at once universal world, which has given meaning to his life. Until May 17th at Fundación Mapfre, Diputació 250, metro Passeig de Gracia (L2, L3, L4). General admissions: €3 per person. Free entry Mondays from 14:00 to 20:00.
Tuesday, 18th February
- Watch “Hacia La Luz” (Radiance) by Naomi Kawase: At a firm specializing in creating audio descriptions for films to serve the visually impaired, a descriptive video transcriber comes to know one of the panel members who is a formerly successful photographer who has lost much of his eyesight. As the man loses his main mode of connecting with the world he also yields his other means away. The new acquaintanceship leads to man and woman coming to terms with their lives and professions and seeing the world in new ways. Watch this movie tonight at 19:00 at Caixa Forum, Av. de Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia , 6-8, metro Espanya (1 and L3). Get your ticket in advance (€6).
