“Reuters: The State of the World”
Until Sun 31 Aug 08
At Palau Robert (Pg de Gracia, 107) Mon – Sat 10am to 7pm Sun 10am to 2:30pm Free Admission
This is a selection of more than 80 photographs about current affairs issues such as globalization, terrorism, climate change and immigration that were taken during the period 2000-2005. The name of the exhibition “Reuters: The State of the World”, it is dedicated to the 240 journalists who have died since 2000 while exercising their profession.
The photographs that make up this exhibition have been selected from an archive containing millions of pictures. All of them were taken by the 600 photographers who work for Reuters, the largest news agency in the world. These photographs were also used in the book with the same title as the exhibition that contains more than 500 photographs and news articles.
The exhibition is divided into five sections: Big Issues (which covers terrorism, natural disasters and migration), Patterns of Belief, Ways of Living, Power Politics and War and Conflict.
On their route through the exhibition, visitors will have the chance to see a video showing how Reuters’ photographers work and containing many other photos of great impact that could not possibly fit into the limited space of an exhibition but which were published in the book mentioned above. There will also be a screen where visitors can consult the images coming in to the Agency from any part of the world.
The exhibition has already been shown in France, China, Germany, England, United Arab Emirates, Belgium, Italy, Greece and Luxembourg. (Taken from www20.gencat.cat)
