Carlos Barrantes. Col·lecció Fotògrafs a les Illes

The exhibition "Carlos Barrantes. Col·lecció Fotògrafs a les Illes" will remain in the "Sa Nostra" Cultural Centre, calle Concepción, 12 in Palma, until December 2.

All the photographs are presented on Arches-Platine de 310 gr., 56 x 76 cm. paper. The works are signed and numbered by the author, carried out with an edition limited to 5 numbered examples, two trials numbered by the author and 1 numbered ex-commerce.

According to the organisers, "for this series Carlos Barrantes has used the platinotype technique, a photographic process that appears in the XIX century. The author carries out the copies on papers chosen for their texture and quality, in which he applies a photesensitive emulsion of platinum salts. The positive is carried out by contact with the negative amplified to the size of the final image. This technique guarantees on the one hand, an exceptional conservation due to the unalterable properties of platinum salts, and on the other, a capacity of recording tones that, with their opaque aspect, produce an image of great sensitivity."
