La Condición Humana - Projection

8/15/2013

At the end of July I took part in an exhibition called La Condición Humana with two Barcelona based photographers Javier Gomiz and Phil Evans. As part of this show we put together a projection of images. I present this slideshow below along with the accompanying text.
English

Javier Gomiz - The Included ones
This tells different stories about a group of people who gather and wander together at a very well-known square in Barcelona.

Phil Evans - General Strike, Barcelona, 29 Marzo 2012

Eighty percent of the economy participated in the Spanish General Strike of 29th March . The strike was a direct response to the proposed €27 bn (£22.5bn) in spending cuts and tax rises, as well as the labour reform laws passed in February 2012.
The demonstrations were peaceful until around 7pm, when a shop was set alight at Plaza Catalunya and a small number of protesters threw bottles and stones at the advancing police lines. After which, police fired rubber bullets and tear gas into the crowds, pushing back and dispersing the otherwise peaceful protest into the plaza and surrounding roads.

Lisa `Furness - Abandoned
The 2007 global financial crisis led to a huge increase in the number of abandoned  buildings in Spain as industries and construction companies went out of business. These pictures bear witness to the tragedy of these wasted and forgotten places.

Javier Gomiz - Inclosos
Este proyecto fotográfico cuenta acerca de las diferentes historias de un grupo de gente que se juntan y vagan en una de las más conocidas plazas que hay en Barcelona.

Phil Evans - Huelga General, Barcelona, 29 Marzo 2012

Ochenta por ciento de los ciudadanos del país, participaron en la Huelga General del 29 de Marzo. La huelga era una respuesta directa a los recortes que sufren las instituciones publicas y ademas las reformas laborales realizadas en Febrero de 2012.
Las manifestaciones eran pacíficas hasta las siete de la tarde, cuando una tienda fue incendiada en Plaza Catalunya y un grupo pequeño de manifestantes lanzaron botellas y piedras a la policía. Seguidamente, la policía dispararo bolas de goma y gas lacrimógeno a la gente, con la finalidad de dispersar a los manifestantes.

Lis Furness - Abandonado
En 2007 la crisis economica global ha dejado muchos edificios abandonados en España ya que tanto, industrias como empresas de construcción quebraron. Estas fotos reflejan la tragedia de estos lugares olvidados.
