SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 27 Oct. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The exhibition ‘Three looks. A photographic tour of 40 years of the Parliament of the Canary Islands’ was inaugurated this Thursday at the headquarters of the regional Chamber.
From the hand of the lens of Trino Garriga, Carlos González and María Pisaca, this story of four decades of parliamentarism in the archipelago is graphically told, in an exhibition that can be visited until November 10.
At the ceremony, the president, Gustavo Matos, stressed that this exhibition is “the most beautiful and intimate act, the one that best summarizes these forty years, because in the end an image is worth more than a thousand words.”
He assured that in order to understand what has happened in the institution in these four decades “it is essential not to miss this exhibition of three photojournalists through their gazes at different times” and emphasized that this stage “must be told and valued”, because there is “taking stock of what has been done before resuming the road, trying to convey what has happened in this time”.
For the president, it is “a luxury” that Garriga, González and Pisaca “have wanted to collaborate with the Parliament of the Canary Islands” and stressed that the exhibition is also a tribute to the photojournalists who have portrayed the history of the islands, “also to those who are no longer there”.
For his part, Trino Garriga recalled that he has not stopped going to the Parliament of the Canary Islands “not a single day” since he returned from Venezuela and invited the citizens of the islands to visit this exhibition, “graphic history of the Canary Islands.”
María Pisaca also took advantage of this occasion to remember Cristóbal García, a photojournalist from the EFE Agency who died in 2020. “We hope to be worthy representatives of this partner who is no longer here,” he said.
‘Three looks. A photographic tour of 40 years of the Parliament of the Canary Islands’ can be visited until November 10 at the Parliament of the Canary Islands.
The exhibition is made up of 108 photographs taken by Trino Garriga, Carlos González and María Pisaca, Canarian photojournalists whose professional career has always been linked to the activity of the Canary Islands Parliament.
