semi-attendance workshop, a conference and a demonstration .
The activity is the premiere ofAfterFoto, a cycle of activities
related with the production, managementand circulation of
photographic legacy. The activities scheduled by AfterFoto call for
a reflection onphotographs as part of our cultural and historical
patrimony: stories, techniques, authorships,
practices,preservation, accessibility, diffusion, archives;
photographs as documents, as vestiges of history, as ourlegacy. How
do we remember? How do we aspire to be remembered?
This joined initiative of the Arxiu Fotogrfic of Barcelona and
Arqueologa del Punt de Vista is bornwith the objective to bring the
photographic legacy closer to the people of Barcelona, while
creatinglinks between the Archive and diverse groups related with
photography in and outside the city. The
programme of AfterFoto is based on the photographic production
the society generates and we in turnpreserve. Conceived as
periodical events of a singular character, the majority of its
activities will takeplace at the installations of the Arxiu
Fotogrfic de Barcelona, with guests a series of
acclaimedinternational contributors.
Presentation
Rephotography is a meticulous genre that deals with
photographing from the same point of view ascene that has already
been registered. At first sight, it is all about providing evidence
about the passageof time through the confrontation of various
images, obtained in the same site but at different
moments.Nevertheless, rephotography implies much more than just
taking a photograph for a second time.Rephotography requires a
thorough selection of historical material and an investigation,
which willallow us to place our camera where somebody else had long
ago placed his. This very fact converts thephotograph we capture
into the subsidiary product of a meditation on three subjects: the
originalphotographer, the photographer who comes afterwards, and
the viewer who observes both of them.
