Manolo Laguillo
Manolo Laguillo is a photographer, essayist and professor of photography in the Fine Arts Faculty, Universitat de Barcelona. His stark, deserted urban representations illustrate processes of change in the contemporary metropolis. In FONS AUDIO #37 Manolo Laguillo talks about his methods of working with large format cameras, about his walks in the city outskirts, about puddles, asphalt and ruins, about the qualities of colour and black and white, the sensuality of prints on paper, and the links between music and photography.
Daniela Ortiz
Daniela Ortiz and Xose Quiroga carry out artistic research and actions at points where colonial narratives collide with migration control systems and with the consensus that underpins the nation state. In Fons #34, Daniela talks about the duo’s working processes, about different ways of spreading hidden knowledge, and about the nomenclature of the colonial monuments that populate the city.
Carlos Bunga
Using ephemeral materials, Carlos Bunga addresses a galaxy of complex notions such as fragility, transience, mutation, and accident. In FONS AUDIO #30 he talks about his early video essays, about how his working process occurs, and about the imminent transitoriness of all architecture.
Oriol Vilanova
Oriol Vilanova works with materials from flea markets: postcards, books and other documents which he collects, sorts and recomposes to create new mental journeys.
Pep Duran
Pep Duran addresses an active viewer-actor who is willing to walk through his works bestowing on them personal, non-transferible meanings. A passionate collector of objects, his artistic production is inextricably linked with the use of materials that are discarded or found in containers.
