Absence as Stimulus is a new creation by National Photography Prize winner Alberto García-Alix.Conceived as a visual lecture, the author reflects on how absence —its presence and its vital force— shapes and permeates his work, acting as both guiding thread and catalyst in his photographs. Accompanying his spoken reflections, García-Alix presents 68 images, most of them unpublished and taken over the last 15 years. He explores how absence is embedded in everything around us: in nature, architecture, objects, and even in portraiture, "because something always escapes us from the subject." In his own words: "absence is a stimulus."
The event will be introduced by Sema D’Acosta, an independent curator, art critic, educator, and researcher, considered one of Spain’s leading visual arts specialists.
