Publisher's presentation:
"En 1914 le magnat industriel Josep Trepat Galceran crée une industrie pour la production de machines agricoles qui deviendra un des moteurs économiques de l’Espagne au cours du XXème siècle. Homme cultivé et attentif aux dynamiques de l’art de son temps, M. Trepat va passer des commandes à quelques uns des grands maîtres de la photographie internationale pour la publicité et l’image corporative de sa compagnie. Il était connaisseur et passionné de l’œuvre de Man Ray, d’Albert Renger-Patzsch, de László Moholy Nagy, d’Alexander Rodchenko, de Charles Sheeler, de Walker Evans et de tant d’autres photographes de l’avant-garde historique qui ont trouvé dans les formes industrielles un univers inspirant pour aboutir à tout un renouvellement esthétique.
Un siècle après sa fondation, la Collection Trepat se révèle comme un trésor méconnu de l’histoire de la photographie. Parmi la richesse de ce fond, le MACSA (Musée d’Archéologie de la Catalogne pour les Systèmes Agricoles) en partenariat avec l’Archive Historique Trepat de Tàrrega (Lleida) a décidé de présenter une exposition qui en fait une mise en valeur et commémorer le centenaire de la naissance des usines Trepat. Le commissariat a été assuré par Joan Fontcuberta, créateur lui-même mais aussi historien et auteur de plusieurs ouvrages sur l’histoire de la photographie espagnole. À l’occasion un livre sera publié par les Éditions Bessard de Paris; Dans son essai d’introduction le commissaire écrit: «En regardant ces œuvres dans une perspective historique et au delà de leur but originalement utilitaire, les images rassemblées ici visualisent d’une façon magistrale tout le parcours expérimental des avant-gardes: du Cubisme à la Nouvelle Objectivité, du Préciosisme au Surréalisme, du Constructivisme au Réalisme Social…»"

Fontcuberta, Joan
Joan Fontcuberta is a contemporary Spanish photographer of Catalan origin. A lover of fake and staged photographs, who uses humor to denounce the manipulation hidden under the images. " Images are our memory, our imagination, our unconscious " In his pictures, Joan Fontcuberta stages images that mimic scientific approaches, journalistic reports, religious narratives, museum speeches ... except that everything is fake. His works are exhibited at the MoMA in New York, at the Georges Pompidou National Center for Art and Culture in Paris. His award-winning work can boast of the Hasselblad Prize for Photography (2013), among others. Photo: © self-portraitPresentation by Ediciones Anómalas: " Over the course of 2020 we have had occasion to take a deep look at Joan Fontcuberta's archive, more precisely, at the early years of his career as a photographer. Our search was, of course, partly influenced by the concept of countervision, which we find fascinating and has proved critical to Fontcuberta's career....
