KBr Fundación MAPFRE hosts a new edition of KBr Flama, the project that each year presents a selection of young talent emerging from the main photography schools in Barcelona: Idep Barcelona, IEFC, Elisava-Facultad de Diseño e Ingeniería de Barcelona and Escola d’Art i Superior de Disseny Serra i Abella. This fifth edition presents the works of: Bernat Erra (Barcelona, 2003), Irina Cervelló (Martorell, 2001), Abril Coudougnan (Perpinyà, 1999) and, Patrick Martin (Stockport, England, 1996). Their projects were selected through a viewing carried out by Javier Martín, Arianna Rinaldo and María Santoyo.
The common thread running through these proposals is a critical and sensitive look at the construction of memory, whether intimate, collective, or territorial. The authors explore how photography can become a tool for exploring interpersonal ties, the traces industry leaves on the territory, and the role images play in shaping shared identities and memories. In Opaco, Irina Cervelló examines the cultural, environmental, and economic implications of the Solvay petrochemical complex in her hometown of Martorell. In Tous les mots maux sont inventés, Abril Coudougnan immerses the viewer in her personal photographic archive, a multitude of images taken over six years. Patrick Martin‘s Looking for George invites a reflection on the myths that shape collective memory. In the final part of the tour, Bernat Erra continues this exploration in Fe de errata, analyzing the construction of a collective identity based on the religious imaginary linked to Catholicism.
