| Templo de la Sagrada Familia (Sacred Family
Church) Electronic Collage The multiplied photograph of the church is a newly created piece and an homage to Gaudí on the 150th anniversary of his death. The technique is electronic manipulation with filters of a celluloid photo taken with a Nikon lens and a superimposed image multiplying lens. The digital realization was done by Tomás Santamaría. Represented in the collage are the past, present and future qualities
of his work, as well as its international character and the metaphor
of Joan Maragall when he referred to Gaudí as “The
Poet of Stone.” |
