The Panoràmic Festival has the Open Panoràmic, an artistic call dedicated to national authors and works in audiovisual format based on photographs, videos, texts, infographics, webdocs or the hybridization of some of these techniques. The works presented may be documentary or experimental in nature or be a visual essay. This edition of the Open Panoràmic will be coordinated by curator Federica Matelli.

Esto no es un simulacro
By Cecilia Hernández
Esto no es un simulacro (2022) is a video work based on the appropriation and intervention of the photographic archive, in order to carry out a speculative narrative around the digital image, identity and the presence of the body inscribed in web cartograph portals.
Cecilia Hernández is an emerging multidisciplinary artist living in Bilbao. His artistic production is nourished by performativity and is articulated around the concept of device.
Previously, she has worked on the relational in the post-internet world, identity, digital, focusing especially on the ramifications and contemporary applications of control.
Mirror, mirror on the web
By Edurne Herrnán
More and more young people are asking surgeons for a result similar to that of their own filter on social media. Networks modify our self-perception, increase comparison and make us more (self-)critical. Unreal expectations are being created.
Edurne Herrnán has a degree in Fine Arts (UPV-EHU, Bilbao / Sculpture at KBW, Berlin) and has done several masters. His work has a direct connection with everyday life, encounter and communication between individuals.
Monstrum
By Jordi Cabestany
MONSTRUM, an aesthetic reflection on the representation of faces and bodies in contemporary society. Artifice technologies, new intelligences, collective canons, individual consciences, network algorithms, digital mesh deformation, virtuality Vs reality, ethics and aesthetics… In short, the beauty of contemporary horror.
Jordi Cabestany is an audiovisual producer, graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona with postgraduate degrees in Film Photography at ESCAC and Digital Video at UPF. He is also an operator, content creator, plastic and visual artist.
Te amo. Yo tampoco.
By Lucía Morón
Today a machine can interpret and anticipate what we cannot perceive or predict. Fifty years ago I couldn’t do it. However, methods were created to recognize a criminal, to study and understand female “hysteria”. No one, however, took care to prevent a marital failure.
What if we had used these methods to analyze photographs from wedding family archives? If we could detect repetitive factions that predict failed love or incurable singleness? What if the only crime is the murder of a romantic love?
Lucía Morón was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is a visual artist, architect and teacher. In 2022 she served as curator of the Panoràmic Festival’s Latin American Photobook Exhibition and was selected as an artist in residence at Montjuïc Castle. Currently, his projects link photography with collage, drawing, writing and the family archive.
El valor
By Marijo Ribas
El valor is a dialogue with different AI applications and platforms about faces, heredity, genetics, and family file. The responses, both image design and text development, have highlighted the racist and classist logics of AI.
Marijo Ribas has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona. Since 2003 she has participated in exhibitions and collective projects in public and private spaces such as Frac Corse, Ruse Gallery, Spazju Kreattiv in Malta, Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona, LABoral Centro de Arte, etc.
Constel·lacions
By Xavi Carrión
The project is a study of the human face, a reflection on facial recognition systems, on privacy and individual freedom. Also on technology and its applications to contemporary art, and on the concepts of authorship or appropriation.
Trained at the Institut d’Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya in the field of creative and reflective photography, Xavi Carrión is interested in the study of the city and landscape and the traces left by human beings on the territory. He is also interested in investigating the personal landscape, how we relate to ourselves through our dreams, our experiences, our family and our environment.
