Photo-reportage on the men and women of the falla ‘Grabador

2004 “BARCELONA IN
SILENCE, A CITY FOR THE PEACE”
In this report, the duality of psychology and photography
provides an interpretation of a reality, a universe familiar
to the photographer in her own city of Barcelona, its
neighbourhoods, streets and buildings all empty, as if
the tumult of the metropolis had vanished. Silence as
a means of expression, a non-verbal communication, of
doing things without stridence. Barcelona, a city for
the peace, has broadcast its message from its balconies,
a truly Mediterranean means of expression.
