Perfect Day is an exhaustive photographic tour across the Mediterranean coastline, from Girona to Algeciras, between 2005 and 2020. Salvans focuses here on the amazing leisure settings where we spend our free time. Throughout his typical formal and conceptual style, using irony to allow us to understand the scale of the tragedy, the author invites us to think about the stereotypes emerged from the overexploitation of our tourist coastline.
This series, published at the height of the pandemic by the British publisher MACK, summarizes in a subtle yet powerful way Salvans’s career, and deepens the subject that troubles the author in his latest works: human resilience that makes us turn seemingly inhospitable spaces into places to disconnect and for personal survival.
Produced by Fundació Foto Colectania, this project is part of the programme of exhibitions of visual arts promoted by Departament de Cultura.
