If the home is a place of exchange, dialogue, harmony and evolution, it is also true that it can be a place of incomprehension, pain and conflict. A clash of egos, of generations and genders.

When artistic ideation is shared, the resulting scenario reminds us of a home. The dynamics that lead to contamination results in an unstable balance; a fluctuation in which personal intuition prevails at times, while the vision of the other parties does so at other times. Listening alternates with contribution in a constant oscillation between construction and destruction (or deconstruction). And when this dance reaches the point of resonance, creation occurs.

Gael del Río (Barcelona, 1990). An architecture graduate from the Barcelona School of Architecture (ETSAB), she stumbled across photography in the final stretch of her degree course, during her exchange year at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. From that moment on, her personal and professional life moved progressively in that direction and she completed her photography studies at the Catalan Institute of Photographic Studies (IEFC) and Grisart. She currently combines her work as a professional architectural photographer with the development of personal projects, which, among other places, have been exhibited at Voies Off Festival (Arles), Fotofever (Paris), KBr Fundación Mapfre (Barcelona) and Luma Arles.

Luca Bani (Pisa, 1982). An Italian photographer based in Barcelona, who graduated from the University of Florence with a degree in architecture in 2012. He has been working as a professional architectural photographer since 2017, while developing his own personal photographic projects. He views artistic photography as a means of exploring human beings and their essence through the investigation of his own inner world. His work is focused on conducting an aesthetic search that he considers fundamental to any form of artistic expression and that is the reason he closely monitors the entire image production process within the darkroom.
