The Arxiu Fotogràfic de Barcelona and Arqueología del Punt de Vista are pleased to announce Working across Time: Rephotographing Images of Place, consisting of a semi-attendance workshop, and a demonstration held by US photographer Mark Klett. The activity is the premiere of AfterFoto, a cycle of activities related with the production, management and circulation of photographic legacy. The activities scheduled by AfterFoto call for a reflection on photographs as part of our cultural and historical patrimony: stories, techniques, authorships, practices, preservation, accessibility, diffusion, archives; photographs as documents, as vestiges of history, as our legacy. How do we remember? How do we aspire to be remembered?
This joined initiative of the Arxiu Fotogràfic of Barcelona and Arqueología del Punt de Vista is born with the objective to bring the photographic legacy closer to the people of Barcelona, while creating links between the Archive and diverse groups related with photography in and outside the city. The programme of AfterFoto is based on the photographic production the society generates and we in turn preserve. Conceived as periodical events of a singular character, the majority of its activities will take place at the installations of the Arxiu Fotogràfic de Barcelona, with guests a series of acclaimed international contributors.
