In his speech in the archive of the Centre Excursionista de Catalunya, Pere Llobera proposes incorporating new materials, a new syncretic category through which to express the intention to transform reality towards a different model from the hegemonic one (hence, in part, the reiteration of the title). Artists accredited in Catalonia will be able to make donations, with the hope, he says, that “this new flow of images […] dislocate the current direction of this collection using the always conflicted gaze of artists”. He is the first to start a donation to the ARXIU L·L GEMINADA, with a whole series of images that have had a dialogue with his pictorial work and that he shows at the headquarters of the archive.
