“Industrial Landscapes. A visual insight into industry"
This is a personal initiative of the businessman and cultural administrator Pau Fornt Baldrich and architect and photographer Aitor Estévez Olaizola, documenting through photography spaces that often go overlooked by the bulk of society, with a cultural and educational aim. The display includes huge manufacturing complexes in all their technical and architectural detail, providing society with a closer look at contemporary industries, while reflecting on the technological process as change. A process created by people, in contrast to the scale of these empty and unfamiliar industrial spaces.
The exhibition will be on show until October in the mNACTEC ARTS SPACE.
