El mar, sempre el mar reflects the pulse, the characters, and the profound diversity of the El Poblenou coastline, as seen by seventeen photographers from twelve different countries. Today, these beaches bring together locals and visitors of all ages as a kaleidoscopic reflection of the city’s Mediterranean soul—one of leisure, sport, cultural exchange, connection and conviviality—with its challenges, such as tourist massification and social imbalance. Some images emerge from the curiosity and admiration of those arriving from elsewhere, while others are shaped by local sensitivity. During weeks of fieldwork, understanding life at the beach required us to belong to it as participants and observers. In doing so, we became witnesses to the passage of time, held captivated by the ever-present sea, always the sea.
El mar, sempre el mar is a physical and online installation conceived and produced for the Can Framis Museum by the students of the Elisava Master in Photography and Design 2025-2026, in collaboration with Vila Casas Foundation.
