THE COLLECTOR IS PRESENT - Retratarse

Pigment Gallery invites collectors Carmen and Lluís Bassat, Rudi Peters, Miquel Rull and Ferran Josa to explore the relationship between their self-image and external perception. Through an experience in which the collector changes from being a spectator of the art to become the starting point of the work, ‘Retratarse’ generates an introspective dialogue about identity and its role in the artistic ecosystem.

Each collector will have been portrayed by photographer Patricio Reig. Then, in a private setting and using similar equipment, they will take their own self-portraits. Both images will be presented in the gallery as diptychs that will contrast both perspectives, revealing the tensions between how we are perceived and how we perceive ourselves.

‘Retratarse’ is an immersion into the construction of the personal image and its relationship to art that invites us to reflect on representation, self-recognition and the collector’s influence on artistic dynamics.
