Carrer de Julià - Barcelona
It is an unusual corner. Life is stopped in time.
In a backyard, Carmen feeds her chicken Coco and Chanel. Her daughter works in the vegetable garden. A few meters away, Emilio jokes with her neighbor in the hairdressing salon that she has improvised in the workshop where he makes vases and other pieces of wood using his own technique. You can hear the guys from La Palma Moderna rehearsing for their annual outing while Damian and his mother prepare themselves for the premiere of their show. Night falls and Marta comes to feed Vaquita and other wild cats from the mountain.
This is a typical day in the life of Carrer de Julià, which is the main street of Satalia, a little village, two steps away from the city center of Barcelona, which composed of single family houses built more than a century ago. Its neighbors enjoy a life in contact with nature. Will we let it disappear?
Carrer de Julià is part of the documentary project “Objective Barcelona. We Portray the City”, curated by Samuel Aranda and which attempts to be a memory of Barcelona in 2014. A selection of photographs were shown in various collective exhibitions in Barcelona, including an artist talk in "Can Basté Foto a la Fresca" in 2019, "La Virreina" museum, Urquinaona metro station in 2015. Featured in national press and interview on TV (TV3 and La 2 RTVE).
