Albert Bonay (b. Barcelona, 1990)
“My work focuses on investigating different aspects of the human condition, especially identity and sexuality. Traces of my research materialize in a variety of references ranging from mass media imagery, art history and Internet culture. I am interested in the application of visual metaphors and in questioning the stretch and limit of symbolism as informed by theory and practice, exploring its evolution and relevance in contemporary visual culture. Based on my educational journey in painting, sculpture and postgraduate background in documentary photography, I have developed a strong fascination for the materiality of objects and images.”
