This exhibition is held in collaboration with the Municipal Delegation of Culture of the Algeciras City Council and is part of the cycle of itinerant exhibitions by the Andalusian community of the Iniciarte Program.

A Meridian represents a cross section in the projects carried out by Pablo López (Granada, 1984) during the last years, in which image, nature and writing are related on different levels. The exhibition presents a dialogue between the images that arise from the practice of photographing in the area, carefully observing nature, and the philosophical and poetic literature that accompanies this process, with references to Paul Celan, María Zambrano, José Ángel Valente and Martin Heidegger, creating a literary constellation that in turn shows interior relationships: Paul Celan's life and his readings of Martin Heidegger; María Zambrano's exile in the house of the Jura, in France, and her friendship with José Ángel Valente; the translations of the latter, in turn, of Paul Celan's poetry...

The core of the exhibition consists of photographs from walking tours of large areas of the province of Granada, mainly, but also in other regions, such as Almería. These journeys have consisted of several weeks of travel, where the solitary stay in the mountains has made possible a silent observation of the territory and the natural elements found there: trees, stones and paths. The repetition of these elements gives them a value that is not only documentary: the territory of Granada becomes an undefined region, connected to the texts through the abstraction and emptiness of the images.

The exhibition catalogue features an essay by Pablo Castilla Heredia.

The project’s master is Paco Baena.
