ELISAVA: El mar, sempre el mar

The Sea, Always the Sea reflects the pulse, the characters and the deep diversity of the Poblenou coastline, seen by seventeen photographers from twelve different countries. Today these beaches bring together locals and visitors of all ages as a kaleidoscopic reflection of the city's Mediterranean soul: a soul of leisure, sport, cultural exchange, connection and coexistence; and also of its challenges, such as tourist overcrowding and social imbalance. Some images arise from the curiosity and admiration of those who arrive from other places, while others are shaped by local sensitivity. During the weeks of fieldwork to understand life at the beach, we needed to belong there both as participants and as observers. In doing so, we became witnesses to the passage of time, captivated by the sea that is always present, always the sea.The Sea, Always the Sea is a physical and online installation conceived and produced for the Museu Can Framis by students of the Master's in Photography and Design Elisava 2025-2026, in collaboration with the Fundació Vila Casas.Artists / Curatorial team: Kritin N.
