From next Thursday May 19th until late July, Galeria Carles Taché - Projects is pleased to announce the opening of the second solo show by French photographer Antoine d`Agata (Marseille, 1961) at the gallery space.
The exhibition gathers his recent photographs and photoengravings as well as 2 videos. On the occasion of the exhibition the gallery has published a poster.

Antoine d`Agata photographs usually show us scenes at the limit, like his own life goes on, a life of discovery and fear confrontation. He is a photographer of the considered taboo topics: narcotized and sexualized realities, personalities that, in their fear or desire, dissolve themselves like the images do.

In this occasion, d`Agata surprises us with some fotocollages that have been created from his own photographs. Thus, each photography captures a large series of images,
a thrilling waterfall of frames that manage to give even more sense of movement of which we usually nd in their work. Some of the show naked bodies, while another one shows the gure of the photographer in a mysterious asking attitude towards the landscape, or another one that shows images of the Aokigahara cursed forest, in Monte Fuji Foothills, there were hundreds of thousands of people committed suicide.

Documentaries Aka Ana (2008) and Atlas (2014) illustrate his experimentations both with the structure and the syntax of the documentary language. Doubtless, D`Agata is searching for a renewal of the perception of the real.

After leaving his home country in 1983, Antoine D ́Agata began a lifestyle that nowadays still maintains. With no xed residence since 2005, he nds in this lifestyle both the freedom and the risk that fertilize his life and work. He has been awarded with many prizes (such as the Prix Niepce in 2001) and he joins the prestigious Magnum Photos agency since 2004. He has published numerous photography books and has exhibited internationally on many occasions. The documentary photography centre Le Bal (Paris) dedicated him the exhibition Anticorps in 2015.

Last but not least, the gallery is happy to announce on Friday May 20th (the day after the opening) there will be a screening of Aka Ana and Atlas followed by a converstion between Antoine d`Agata and Alberto Garcia-Alix, moderated by Nicolás Combarro. This activity is part of the DOC eld festival panel and will start at 5pm.
During the months of the exhibition, there will be a screening of the two videos every Friday at 6pm.
