Ça-a-eté? Against Barthes is an exhibition at Palau de La Virreina encompassing everything to do with Roland Barthes work, which has had a profound effect on the world of photography. 

The most-cited essay on photography in history is without a doubt Camera Lucida. It is Roland Barthes’ final work, and was published shortly before his death. With his poetic gaze and theoretical reflections, Barthes develops key concepts in the book, such as punctum and studium, which have since been incorporated into the lexicon of photographic criticism. He describes photography as “that-which-has-been" (Ça-a-eté in French).
