I have discovered the Montjuïc neighborhood of Girona. From up there I captured this series of photographs for La Vanguardia’s Readers’ Photos, with the sculpture Faces.
When I was coming down from this neighborhood I took some emblematic panoramic views, such as the image of the Cathedral or the Sant Feliu church from another perspective.
Rostres (faces, in Spanish) is a large metal installation made up of four panels in which there are two interspersed drawings of two faces. One looks to the right while the other looks to the left.
Each face is drawn by a line that follows the features marked by light and shadow so that, in one of the two drawings, the space touched by the light is empty and the space marked by the shadow is the metal of the support, while the other drawing of the same face is the “negative” of the first.
Thus, the silhouettes of the four panels are drawn on the landscape and the work establishes a game of contrasts between the figures, inverted openings, light and the environment in which it has been located.
