photojournalism
Sandra Balsells
Sandra Balsells has spent more than twenty years using her camera to document and denounce the impact that military, natural and social catastrophes have on people. She practices a humanist, combative, poetic photojournalism that lays bare the conflicts of our time, offering us images with which to construct critical discourses and organise our visual memory. In FONS ÀUDIO #20, Balsells takes us on a journey through her career, revisiting works such as Balkan in memoriam (2002), Retrats de l’ànima (2004), and the MACBA Collection commission Formació Global. IESE (2007).

We dig up some unreleased fragments of the interview with the Catalan photographer Sandra Balsells.
Adam Broomberg
Born in apartheid-era Johannesburg to a Jewish family, descended from Holocaust survivors, Adam Broomberg's trajectory spans teenage anti-apartheid activism, years embedded in global conflict zones, and commercial collaborations that later became subjects of critique. Across this arc, his work has evolved into a sustained inquiry into power: his own positionality, the complicities of photography, and its potential to be repurposed as a tool for change. In this conversation, the artist and educator traces his own path through images, complicities, and refusals. He reflects on the toxicity of photography, how he engaged with its reproduction and refusal – through projects with large-format cameras, archival excavations, and counter-surveillance.
