The Byzantine Wall Room inaugurates this afternoon the exhibition 'When the light goes out' (31/05/2018)

On Thursday, May 31, at 7:30 p.m., the exhibition 'When the light goes out' is inaugurated, a project that is born from the fusion of 36 poems by María Teresa Cervantes and the photographs by José Carlos Ñíguez.

An act that is expected to attend the Councilor for Culture of the City of Cartagena, David Martinez.

The Municipal Room of the Byzantine Wall will host this binomial of photography and poetry, in which the lyric of each poem is captured by an image that reflects the text, in such a way that the poem and the image form a unity.

The photograph illustrates the poem, the poem merges into the photograph.

The sample can be visited from May 31 to July 1, from Tuesday to Friday, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

THE ARTISTS

José Carlos Ñiguez (Cartagena, autumn 1954), is a Doctor of Medicine, Specialist in Pediatrics.

He began in photography in the eighties in a self-taught way, although it is from 2007 when he decides to bring his work to light.

He has won numerous national and international awards and has participated in group and individual exhibitions.

His works are in different public and private collections.

About his work he has expressed that "I hope that my images are an unknown in his own reality".

He does not look at the world to document it, but he takes it as a starting point to reinvent it.

His reality crosses the space of his emotions, trying to open the doors to distant universes that we do not perceive.

His images reside in the intuition of what is hidden on the other side of the camera: those spaces where the inexplicable, the amazing, the mystery live.

Where the real and the imaginary are confused.
