Event 49: Alberto García Alix

Absence as A Stimulus

Absence as a stimulus is the new creation of Alberto García-Alix, winner of the National Photography Award. Conceived in the format of a visual conference, the author reflects on how absence, its existence and its vital stimulus, influences and is reflected in his work, being the guiding thread and catalyst in his photographs. García-Alix intersperses 68 images, mostly unpublished and taken over the last fifteen years, with his dissertation text. The photographer reflects on how absence is present in everything that surrounds us: in nature, in architecture, in objects and even in portraiture, “because something always escapes us from the model”. In the words of the author: “Absence is stimulus”.

The event will be presented by Sema D'Acosta, independent curator, art critic, teacher and researcher, one of the most outstanding visual arts specialists in our country.
