About this work:
In the photographic series Alrededor de Gaudí (Around Gaudi), Alvargonzález surprises us by showing an uncommon view of the famous buildings of the Catalan architect. The spectator is used to seeing Gaudi's buildings in postcards, isolated and stylised, as perfect icons of Barcelona. Chema Alvargonzález makes a more realistic portrait of the buildings, placing them within their immediate urban context: reflected in nearby buildings, surrounded by traffic signals and shop signs, or as works under construction. Thus he obtains a vivid contrast between modernist architecture and everyday elements of the XXI century.
