PHOTO-GRAPHICS (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Each image is an ordered collection of photographs. I walk the surfaces partially scanning them, looking for internal orders and rhythms. Systematize the data collection generates a catalog of recurring images that can be organized by typologies. Then reorder them as different pieces of a puzzle that we assemble in another way. The uniformity contrasted with the small imperfections of each of the elements photographed give the whole this character at once abstract and hyperrealistic. As a visual DJ, I take fragments of existing elements and add them forming new realities.
AUTHOR
Adrià Goula Sardà studied architecture in Barcelona (ETSAB) and since 2004 he works as an architecture photographer.
He has made more than 1000 commissions for renowned architects and different public and private institutions, nationally and internationally. His work has been the cover of multiple magazines and has published in numerous monographs, books and magazines worldwide.
In addition to his commercial work, he has been developing personal projects investigating form, texture and memory. Goula’s artistic practice explores photography as a medium, with the aim to go beyond the window frame to create abstract self-contained images. Architecture but also landscape or still life, are the elements he uses to create images where the bidimensional compositions, complexity, imperfection and abstraction are the main subjects.
His work has been exposed in different galleries in France and Spain. Finalist of the AENA 2012 contest, Honorable Mention at IPA 2013 and Combat 2013, he was selected to participate in Descubrimientos PhotoEspaña 2012 and in the Full Contact of the Scan Festival 2012 in Tarragona and at the ArtPhotoBcn 2014. His Re-Edificatoria work was part of the Spanish Pavilion of the 2016 Venice Biennale, which was awarded the Golden Lion. This work also received the Biennial Award
