Ivorypress (Madrid, Spain) presents the exhibition Delirious City by Antonio Girbés (Tavernes de la Valldigna, Valencia,1952). The work this photographer from Valencia has created over the last five years addresses the urban space from a visual, geometrical perspective with images in which buildings and architectural elements are deformed, multiplied and shrouded in mystery. In this project, the artist creates a "delirious city", which he views as a work in progress where the artist culls fragments of architecture from his travels to Paris, Moscow, Naples, New York, Shanghai, Barcelona and Vienna.
Girbés's work reworks the city planning and architecture of seminal names like Lluís Doménech i Montaner, Antoni Gaudí or Johann Fischer von Erlach, as well as contemporary architects like Norman Foster or the Russian architect Alexey Dushkin.
As a result, starting out from an analogical snapshot, captured on his Hasselblad, each image is scanned and meticulously processed by the artist to create divisions, repetitions and mirror plays.
