RocioSantaCruz
RocioSantaCruz, Barcelona
RocioSantaCruz Gallery began its trajectory in Paris in the 1990s and has been based in Barcelona since 2002. It develops an exhibition program that brings together photography, painting, experimental film, archives, artist books, and new technologies from an interdisciplinary perspective. Its approach fosters dialogue between established and emerging artists, creating connections that enrich contemporary thought. Through exhibitions, research, and publications, the gallery promotes the recovery and dissemination of artistic projects engaged with the social and cultural challenges of both the past and the present.
Proposal
Another Invitation is a project that emerges from the exhibition A Small Invitation and continues its exploration of the image as a space of relationship between body, matter, and perception. Through photography, textiles, embroidery, writing, and other manual processes, it investigates how everyday gestures can transform the way we see.
It understands photography as a process of care, repair, and transformation, in which each intervention reinscribes the image and expands its possibilities for meaning. Through prints on fabric, collage, and assemblage, the project develops a methodology that conceives of the printer as a loom, proposing a practice in which images continue to be revealed through materiality, time, and repetition.
Rubén González Bonilla
Rubén González Bonilla (Premià de Mar, 1997) graduated in Photography from the EASD Josep Serra i Abella and completed further studies at the IEFC, earning a dual qualification in Documentary Photography Techniques and Studies in Photographic Theory and Practice. Through photography and textiles, he explores the relationships between the body and its surroundings, understanding the body as a sensitive, transformable, and photographable material while investigating new photographic techniques.
His work has been exhibited at emerging art festivals such as STRIPART and Mirada Pilot. His photographs were selected for the 2025 Ibero-American Biennial of Contemporary Jewellery in collaboration with Gema Pinedo de Pedro.
