“Rif Spahni. Instant and memory”

INSTANT AND MEMORY is an invitation to embark on a photographic and documentary adventure and a journey of the imagination. Photographer Rif Spahni immerses himself in the world of Joan Miró at the artist’s Son Boter studio, revealing a place filled with magic where Miró’s energy and creative wizardry still persist.

In his enthralment with the atmosphere inside the studio, Spahni rescues these sensations from oblivion, exploring this enigmatical space with singular creative talent. As he explains: “I let myself be guided by what I see and feel and what the place asks of me.”

Spahni roams Son Boter as if he were an invisible being, as if he were yet another part of it, letting the place continue with its life. It is in that moment of stillness and silence that the magic begins, in that split second when everything seems to come to life and the walls and floor speak through the graffiti, the splotches and the materials deposited on them. The process he follows and, by extension, his highly characteristic photographic work move within the realms of figuration, abstraction and suggestion.
