The photographic gaze of Josep Roig with 'The silent house of poetry'
Tour paying tribute to different poets at the Porreres Museum until September 30.
Josep Roig i Casas presents a new series of photographs on the first floor of the Porreres Museum that can be visited until September 30. The exhibition, entitled The Silent House of Poetry , offers a tribute to poets who find the words that we would all like to express, but often do not know how to convey. Each image invites the viewer to immerse themselves in a poetic universe, where silences, landscapes and everyday details become vehicles of universal feelings and emotions.
Each artistic photograph is more than an image: it is an expanding moment. The camera does not limit itself to capturing what happens in front of the viewer, but translates the sensitivity of the observer. From this translation are born atmospheres, silences, gestures and traces that, otherwise, would have gone unnoticed.
The viewer will pause, stop time and establish connections with the landscapes that Salvador Espriu imagined in Sinera, as well as with other snapshots of the Migjorn or Pla de Mallorca region. Josep Roig i Casas, within this photographic journey, also combines elements that often go unnoticed in a society where the maelstrom seems essential: a door, a norai or a bench in front of the sea captured with his camera.
Tribute to Bartomeu Rosselló-Porcel by Josep Roig at the Porreres Museum.
The artistic gaze transforms the everyday into a symbol. A worn wall becomes a witness to memory, a moving shadow reveals the transience of time, and an anonymous face becomes a map of universal emotions. Understood in this way, photography ceases to be a simple document and becomes a metaphor.
In times of immediacy, stopping in front of a photographic work is a gesture of resistance. Contemplating an artistic image forces us to slow down the dizzying pace of life and open ourselves to new readings. Each frame is a mirror that confronts us with our way of looking and with what we often choose not to see.
The poets that Josep Roig i Casas pays tribute to at the Porreres Museum are: Mònica Maragall i Mira, Miquel Costa i Lllobera, Bartomeu Rosselló Pòrcel, Salvador Espriu, David Jou, Joan Margarit, Martí Amagat i Matamala, Laia Noguera i Clofent, Christelle Enguix, Miquel Dolç i Dolç, Victòria Secall, Antoni Negre, Jaume Rosselló Tomás, Vicent Andrés Estellés, Montserrat Abelló, Josep Carner, Maria Josep Escrivà, Gloria Fuertes and Rafael Alberti. The viewer's gaze will be transported to a fascinating universe, guided by photographs that, more than ever, aspire to become visual poems.
