Tuesday to Saturday: 10:30 to 13:30, 17 to 20

Monday closed

Following a residency at the Barcelona Photographic Archive, I approach descriptive language to observe, without looking at them, the images contained in the archive and to glimpse the people who archive it. The result is the publication Abaix hi ha herba, a dalt rocas (below there is grass, above there are rocks), which is presented at the festival in an exhibition format.

Monday closed

In September 2018, thousands of photographs from the Civil War appeared in a red box in the garage of a house about to be demolished on Passeig de Valldoreix in Sant Cugat del Vallès, a short distance from the station. The author, the prestigious photographer Antoni Campañà Bandranas (Arbúcies 1906-Sant Cugat del Vallès 1989), did not want to show them again after the war and his family did not know about the existence of this great archive.The Sant Cugat Museum has returned three tributes with a triple exhibition: La Capsa Vermella, with photographs of the Civil War;  The avant-garde of pictorialism, a selection of the six award-winning post-pictorial artists, and finally A photographer from Sant Cugat, a miscellaneous of family photos and some of the reports from Sant Cugat.

UNPUBLISHED POEMS
Ferran Freixa

Time:

Tuesday to Friday: 10:30 to 14, 17 to 20

In this exhibition by Ferran Freixa, “Unpublished Poems” we present a series of unpublished or little-known images of the author, with the intention of opening our eyes to his work, and of presenting little-known images from his extensive archive. With the help of Photographic Social Vision, who represent the Ferran Freixa Archive, we have been able to delve into the contact sheets of Freixa’s sessions, and we have been able to corroborate the importance of this author, and reaffirm the aesthetic and poetic capacity of his images. This work has also allowed us to observe his way of working with pause.

“La Teoría de mis Albertos” traces connections between a personal obsession with Albert Einstein, which began after his encounter with my great-grandfather Alberto in 1925, and the Albertos in my life: my father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, my godfather, and my former boss. This constellation of unexpected relationships becomes the starting point for exploring the tensions between work and time, inherited mandates, and the historically frustrating place of women within the labor market. * This work has been scientifically artistically proven.

DISMANTLING FORM:
SYNTHETIC PROJECTIONS

Time:

Tuesday to Friday 10 to 19

Saturday and Sunday 10 to 15

No structure is neutral. Every form organizes, distributes, and conditions: even before it is inhabited, architecture establishes patterns of circulation, degrees of access, and zones of permanence or exclusion. Surfaces administer; materials regulate. Something similar occurs in the text, whose forms stabilize meaning by imposing logics of linear temporality, syntactic hierarchy, and expressive functionality. From this perspective, transposition becomes an aesthetic experience in which poetics operates as an instrumental force for intervening in the material grammar of physical space. Here, the “synthetic” does not refer to the artificial but to the production of new combinations. From the dialogue between the works of Ángel Biyanueba, Lara Uro, Mario Manso, Nicolás Cox, and Pablo Quesada, a suspended reality emerges that demonstrates how inherited forms can be brought down, tilted until their condition becomes evident, and opened into a margin from which to explore other modes of interaction and existence.

SEMPERVIRENS
Aleix Plademunt

Time:

Monday to Saturday: 10 to 14, 17 to 20.

Sunday closed

“I saw you who was myself”. In Patti Smith’s poem, a split self appears, along with a double-edged “lovecrafter”: author of the cosmic and craftsman of love. This duality opens a reflection on connection and transformation. In Aleix Plademunt’s work, a dead cypress becomes a support for images that document his own process. Matter and representation intertwine in a cycle where the image doesn’t fix a single instant, but rather sustains an expanded temporality, in which origin and projection coexist, giving rise to a continuity that persists beyond disappearance.

Exhibition until July 9

This project brings together the memories of my journeys.
Fleeting instants that I have been freezing with my camera for the past ten years.
Landscapes, movement, scenes offered by the road.
They happen only once and then disappear.

These photographs are fragments,
thoughts,
experiences,
breaks.

Everything that survives the road.

A community-based association in the Cévennes (France) provides shelter for impoverished and marginalized individuals. Côté Cœur is a building housing about ten people. Her photographic approach is built upon shared time and encounters. Her presence is an integral part of her work, translated into images.

Sharing news, experiences, emotions, and special moments with a family member, a friend, or any loved one was made possible through postcards. In an ephemeral yet lasting way, all this poetry was retained on cardboard cards that traveled around the world. A visual reminder and a handwritten text soaked in the affection and longing of the one who was far away. A means to make present love, friendship, gratitude, or simply a greeting—almost like the verses of a poem—that kept the connection alive and tangible, despite the distance.

SCHOOLS EXHIBITIONS

ELISAVA
Adeline Rush

Outdoor exhibition

Oh To Swim blends documentary and staged imagery to explore the lives of three young Moroccan and Amazigh women, Yassmine, Nassima, and Fatima, who live and work in the increasingly globalized surf towns of the Agadir area. The project centers their voices and perspectives within spaces shaped by tourism and surf culture. As the most visited surf region in North Africa, these villages draw over a million tourists annually, accelerating development while intervening on traditional norms. Guided by thematic analysis, the project draws from psychological interviews. Recurring themes informed the photographic direction, offering insight into how these women navigate life.

EAD Sant Cugat
STUDENTS EAD

Outdoor exhibition

The Sant Cugat School of Art and Design is participating once again in the Lumínic festival with an exhibition featuring two students in the first-year of the Higher Level Vocational Training programs. The project is part of a pedagogical exercise that invites students to explore the poetic dimension of photographic language. In this context, photography is presented not only as a tool for representation, but also as a space for suggestion, emotion, and sensory experience, capable of unlocking meanings and generating an intimate relationship with the viewer. The images presented investigate the relationship between presence and absence, trace and memory, and propose a contemplative approach to contemporary photography.

Change of Scenery is a process of observation and self-analysis, a journey that begins with the rejection of my own image and passes through disassociation, reaching the distortion of my own self. Through these images, an ambiguous territory is created: beautiful yet wounded, luminous and sometimes dark, reflecting this internal process of search and transformation.

One of the fundamental pillars of the Lumínic platform is its Educational Plan, the objective of which is to generate spaces for experimentation, knowledge and reflection around the photographic fact. For this reason, Lumínic is currently collaborating with various educational centres by holding workshops and calls for exhibitions of artistic work. In 2021, Lumínic began collaborating with INS Leonardo to carry out an annual cycle of workshops for 4rd ESO students. In these fith editions, students have had the opportunity to take photographs with digital cameras, photo selection and editing sessions, as well as exhibition design. The guiding thread of this year's workshops has been experimentation with the image in search of documenting and portraying the poetic of the image with what we can find around us, whether in the classroom or the urban environment. This exhibition shows the results of the creation of the students throughout the entire school year 2025 - 2026.
