Silvia Palá Intérpretes has been providing interpreting services at the conference “Una ciutat desconeguda sota la boira”. This event focused on a fascinating photographic project by Jeff Wall on present-day Barcelona, as seen from the peripheral neighbourhoods that emerged from the post-war wave of migration.
The project seeks to be part of a local tradition of photographic projects on urban processes since the Olympic period, offering a critical and civic perspective that understands photography as a counter-discourse to advertising. The periphery of Barcelona, historically a territory of innovation and emerging trends, is the focus of this initiative, which is presented as a significant document for understanding the evolution of the city in the current decade.
Divided into thirteen commissions, the project encompasses both cross-cutting approaches that cut across several neighbourhoods and specific case studies. The approaches range from topographical to social perspectives, providing a comprehensive and diverse view of urban dynamics.
