Autoedici\u00f3 Exposada<\/a> pays heed to an undeniable reality in photography in the current times: the recuperation of the artist\u2019s book. These are presented as signed, limited editions, with even a stamp of authenticity; becoming pieces in themselves, substitutes for the \u201cwork\u201d, at a time when digitalization permits infinite reproductions and less control over the distribution of the image itself. <\/p>\n![\"\u00c2\u00a9Stephanie](\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/_c_STEPHANIE_ROLAND.jpg\")
Even so, it is surprising that some of the activities included in the programme already ended months ago. Due to contractual problems, SCAN shifted its natural timing from spring to autumn, and some of the activities programmed within the Festival, such as Henri Lartigue. Un m\u00f3n flotant en Caixaforum Tarragona<\/em>, were unable to move from the scheduled time. <\/p>\nOn the other hand, aside from the events displaced in the calendar, SCAN 2012 has suffered, like other cultural events organised in the city, a drastic reduction in its budget, in the very year that Tarragona celebrates being the Capital of Catalan Culture<\/em>, a title that can sound rather empty if one bears in mind the lost opportunities. In this situation of a certain emergency, not just economic but above all cultural and programmatic, the support of the city\u2019s town council seems once again insufficient. SCAN seems to suffer from a lack of institutional \u201cbacking\u201d and with it insufficient media coverage; the wearing down of a team that should be more highly valued, (some have been cultural militants for 30 years now, and it doesn\u00b4t look as if any replacements are appearing) without the pampering<\/em> that a non central city ought to proffer to events of this magnitude. <\/p>\nAfter months of activity and a search for excellence on the part of the organisation, put into context the danger is clear: without clear support, the result could end up changing the festival irredeemably into a \u201chomemade\u201d festival, although one of excellent quality. SCAN is about to end and a visit, for those who haven\u00b4t already been, is highly recommended. For those who have, a reviewing (neither blurred nor distracted) is indispensable. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The world moving at break neck speed and suddenly, click. This click, a time lapse, stealing what was to become a syncope of this giddy rhythm. The click, that captures the now-nothing-will-be-the-same. A blurred image, stolen, that freezes in time the distracted though penetrating gaze of a young girl, like the time that surrounds her, the times we live in: blurred and distracted. This stolen instant possesses a certain transcendence. The young girl impassively watches how she is captured amidst the agitated crowd that surrounds her. Her incisive gaze pierces the negative. <\/p>\n
