La Boqueria is the most famous market in Barcelona around the world. The city center beats every day, with more than 200 vendors for their blinds, smells, meals and cuisine. A festival for the senses… This is the other entrance.

The Monochrome Experience: Seagull flow
The sea is the canvas. Seagulls paint abstract drops. The torso man is a white spot. The woman with the sunglasses and the enigmatic smile, the time. The needles of the horizon obey a certain order and a warning to the seagulls: do not rest here, or you will prick the feathers.
The Monochrome Experience: Giants
Photographing giants is a festive activity that modifies our human scale. We are insignificant if we compare ourselves with them. They dance and wear their best clothes. It is something magnificent that allows us to daydream and forget the gear of wealth redistribution and the intrusive digital marketing.
The Monochrome Experience: Avoid Plastic!
#1
Exchange plastic bags for reusable ones, carts or baskets.
#2
Do not use plastic cups, plates and cutlery when you are away from home.
#3
Buy your food in bulk and avoid excess packaging, such as trays.
#4
Change the plastic caps by stainless steel or glass.
#5
Avoid the use of cosmetics that have plastic microspheres in their composition.
#6
Drink tap water, not bottled water.
#7
Choose containers for your drinks and liquids that are returnable, such as glass, instead of brick and plastic bottles.
#8
Reduce your baby’s exposure to plastic, not using plastic bottles.
#9
Look for wooden, cloth, or latex and natural rubber toys.
#10
Say no to disposable razors.
#11
Try to get hygiene and personal care products that are not packed in plastics and that do not contain microplastics in their composition.
#12
Avoid cleaning products packed in plastic.
#13
Refill metal lighters.
#14
If it is impossible, then reduce your plastic consumption further.
The Monochrome Experience: Up
Seeing the world on the shoulders of the father or mother is a wonderful thing. Some of us hardly remember the beautiful views, there, in the heights. These privileged views only run for a short period. Because the boy or girl grows and gain weight, which contributes to abandon childhood in some way and enter the territory of reality. Parents are no longer giants and little ones have become teenagers.
The Monochrome Experience: Strange Things
Sometimes photographs capture strange situations. A bike that looks like a motorcycle. A woman with sunglasses who put her hand on her forehead so as not to be blinded by light. The old man looking inside his nose. The bike with too many wheels. One strange street with the two men below and the woman at the window (surreal environment permeates everything). The inflatable helicopter patrolling the city. The crosswalk crowded with babies in strollers…
The Monochrome Experience: Vertigo
At fairs the photographer has the opportunity to capture unusual lights, dizzying situations and images of suggestive rarity. There are frightening attractions with terrified screaming teenagers, noise, smells, clouds of artificial gas and the smell of fast food. But everyone, children, parents and older people have a great time.
The Monochrome Experience: Just Shapes
Shapes today are dominant over the representation. I do not want to watch for the meaning of undulating chains, a giant shell, two stones at right angles, the capricious curves of a crowd of chairs, the girl who goes down the steps, the small woman in the distance of a cloudy forest, or the lunch with the windows and the backlighting walls. Today must be the shapes that speak. I like it enough. It is complex for me to explain the meaning. An intellectual exercise that spoils what one sees when enjoying or feel a photograph.
The Monochrome Experience: Cool Shot
The night is full of surprises. A showcase where to set the focus, capture scenes and test the abilities of the photographer.
The Monochrome Experience: Crossed Lifes
On a quantum level the laws of physics overflow our cartesian existence. If we imagine the subjects as quantum particles, the photographer would attend an experiment in the Nature’s laboratory.
The Monochrome Experience: Framed
Sometimes the protagonists are distributed with mastery in the framework of photography. Random, luck and opportunity make their appearance.
The Monochrome Experience: Casual Things
I especially like the flower in the pond. It has been almost a miracle to do it. The rest of the series has no special interest but can be seen without further ado. I like the one of the girl who doesn’t have her feet on the floor and watch a guy who looks in the same direction. Today I did something with the shadows. The projected branches in the sand… Summer, days, casual things.
The Monochrome Experience: Subtle Situations
Seeing a photograph is a visual and intellectual pleasure. Just like reading a good book, just like listening carefully to an immortal concert or opera. Sometimes relationships are established between the elements of the image, certain contrasts, a kind of dialogue between the subjects. I do not mean the composition or the usual rules of the four thirds, I speak about the subtle situations. In this series I especially like the photograph of the woman who crosses La Rambla. The female protagonist establishes a formal relationship with the three-arm lamppost. Why? The woman also has three arms and a point of distant light at the tip of the nose!
The Monochrome Experience: White Background
Finding a white background in a city is almost a miracle. The subjects lack external reference and the eyes are concentrated in their details: clothing, style, action, physiognomy. A gift for lovers of street photography.
The Monochrome Experience: Barcelona’s Old Town
An attempt to capture the transience of light in black and white, snapshots with fixed optics at f/8, sometimes tricking the camera’s photometer with high speeds in order to create sharp contrasts. Check inside the post the full gallery.

Biografía
Lluís Bussé, doctor en Filosofía y licenciado en Bellas Artes, crea una Barcelona nueva, después de recorrer y hacer miles de fotografías, con sorprendentes imágenes de la Sagrada Familia en la playa de la Mar Bella, la Torre Agbar en el Parque Güell o la Plaza de Cataluña con surfistas nos sitúan en una visión nueva y original.
Este ejercicio creativo se basa en la combinación de disciplinas diversas, asociando fotografía y cosmología, la disciplina filosófica que trata del origen y la constitución del Universo. La propuesta se inspira en la teoría del multiverse del matemático Hugh Everett, que se refiere a nuestro universo como uno más de otros posibles universos. El físico Max Tegmark (MIT) refuerza esta idea cuando clasifica los universos existentes en niveles diferentes. El multiverse de primer nivel, en el que se basa su obra Barcelona’s Multiverse, señala que existen universos paralelos que comparten las mismas leyes y constantes físicas que el nuestro y que presentan, por tanto, gran similitud.
La serie (exposición y libro) presenta las imágenes en tres apartados: el primero muestra edificios significativos de la ciudad reubicados, el segundo, una posible Barcelona con canales al estilo veneciano, y el tercero, una Barcelona construida directamente sobre la playa y el mar.
La exposición, con sus fotografías en blanco y negro, se ha mostrado en el Palau Robert de Barcelona y en el 4º Festival de Ciudades Invisibles de Portimão, Portugal.
El libro también reúne textos de diversos autores sobre la teoría del multiverse.

L’exposició “Barcelona’s Multiverse”, una de les propostes del IV Festival de les Ciutats Invisibles de Portimão
L’exposició fotogràfica “Barcelona’s Multiverse”, que es va inaugurar i presentar durant l’estiu al Palau Robert, és una de les activitats programades en el IV Festival de les Ciutats Invisibles, que se celebra al Teatre municipal de la ciutat portuguesa de Portimão, a la regió de l’Algarve. Una mostra que ens trasllada a una Barcelona imaginària, amb escenaris nous que inventa Lluís Bussé, associant i encaixant imatges de llocs i monuments molt coneguts.
La Barcelona imaginària de Bussé, doctor en Filosofia i llicenciat en Belles Arts, és pura fantasia i sorpresa, amb multiplicitat d’imatges i perspectives inventades que dibuixen una altra Barcelona possible, que pot existir en un univers paral·lel. Les sorprenents imatges, en blanc i negre, de la Sagrada Família a la platja de la Mar Bella, la Torre Agbar al Parc Güell o la Plaça de Catalunya amb surfistes ens situen en una visió nova i original.
L’exercici creatiu de Lluís Bussé es basa en la combinació de disciplines diverses, busca la barreja d’art i ciència. En aquest cas associa la fotografia i la cosmologia, la disciplina filosòfica que tracta de l’origen i la constitució de l’Univers. La proposta s’inspira en la teoria del “multiverse” del matemàtic Hugh Everett, segons la qual el nostre univers pot ser un més d’altres possibles universos. El físic Max Tegmark (MIT) reforça aquesta idea quan classifica els universos existents en nivells diferents. El “multiverse” de primer nivell, en el qual es basa el llibre, assenyala que hi ha universos paral·lels que comparteixen les mateixes lleis i constants físiques que el nostre i que hi presenten, per tant, gran similitud.
Les fotografies que es presenten a l’exposició, produïda pel Palau Robert, pertanyen al llibre de Lluís Bussé “Barcelona’s Multiverse”, publicat en anglès per Damiani Editore, amb la col·laboració de l’Ajuntament de Barcelona. El llibre també aplega textos de diversos autors sobre la teoria del “multiverse”.
El Festival d’enguany està dedicat al novel·lista Eduardo Mendoza i a la seva novel·la “La Ciudad de los prodigios”, una novel·la d’Eduardo Mendoza publicada el 1986 i que fa referència a l’evolució de la ciutat de Barcelona en el període comprès entre les exposicions universals de 1888 y 1929. Aquest esdeveniment inclou una programació amb música, teatre, circ, dansa, fotografia, cinema i literatura.
The exhibition “Barcelona’s Multiverse”, on the line-up of activities at the Festival of Invisible Cities in Portimão
The photography exhibition “Barcelona’s Multiverse”, which opened and was on display at the Palau Robert this summer, is among the line-up of activities at the 4th edition of the Festival of Invisible Cities, held in the Municipal Theatre of the Portuguese city of Portimão, in the region of the Algarve. An exhibition that transports us to an imaginary Barcelona, with new scenarios invented by Lluís Bussé, who juxtaposes and fits together images of well-known locations and monuments.
Bussé, holding a PhD in Philosophy and a degree in Fine Arts, creates an imaginary Barcelona that is the epitome of fantasy and surprise, featuring a great variety of invented images and perspectives that depict another possible Barcelona, which might exist in a parallel universe. The surprising black-and-white images of the Sagrada Família at Mar Bella beach, the Torre Agbar at Park Güell and Plaça de Catalunya with surfers afford us a new and original perspective.
Lluís Bussé’s creative exercise draws its inspiration from the “multiverse” theory developed by the mathematician Hugh Everett, according to which our universe may be one of several possible universes.
