Trash-a-Photo. New project

A picture that has lost its eyes is a dead picture.

We are saturated with images, maybe it’s time to start trashing the useless ones. Trash-a-Photo project is created with the aim to help achieve this goal. A project that wants to help society to get rid of those photographs without eyes, abandoned pictures without past or future. Each day we are going to break one of these images, leaving a photographic record of destruction, but not of the original image, which finally ceases to exist. Project is updated daily with a new destroyed picture. Follow it at trashaphoto.tumblr.com

“Pou & Pou fan Poe” at La Pedrera, Barcelona

Included in the “Setmana de la Poesia” (week of poetry) festival in Barcelona yesterday “Pou & Pou fan Poe” was presented at la Pedrera, the famous Gaudi building in Barcelona. “Pou & Pou fan Poe” is a poetry and images event celebrating the poetry by Edgar Allan Poe.

Catalan poet Txema Martinez has just finished the first Catalan translation of all Poe poetry. To celebrate this moment a poetry show was held yesterday. A dramatized reading of Poe poems by actor Josep Maria Pou was accompanied by photographs by Jordi V. Pou projected on a large screen, to build a dialogue between the verses and images, in an attempt to update and claim Poe modernity.

You can read about this event at here and here.
