Presentation of Lara Amat’s artist book "2050"

Lara Amat presents 2050, an artist book that emerges from the creative project Un raig de sol entra en una casa a l’obaga, which she is developing as an artist in residence at Espai d’Arts at Roca Umbert.

The publication stems from the research the artist has been conducting since 2021 in La Garrotxa, more specifically in the area surrounding a small farmworkers’ house located in a shaded area. The presence of water and natural light is essential to maintaining the farmhouse’s habitability, but also to the artist, who experiments with these two elements when creating or evoking images.

2050 takes us into a future whose landscape we do not know how will have evolved: Will the spring that supplies water to the farmhouse have dried up? Will anyone live there? Will the apple tree in the garden still be alive? In this book, Lara Amat ventures to “photograph” this possible future, with each page guiding us through the sunrise and sunset of each of the 365 days of the year 2050.
