The Photographic study Barcelona hosts until late February, the latest collection of Kasimir Mathal, one of the leading representatives of Digipovera, a new artistic movement that reflects on how photography digitaly in which society uses and discards the large number of these photographs that are made daily.

The Digipovera is characterized by giving another life to the images that a priori ‘deleted‘. Its main tool is the picture of poor quality, which apparently does not work and with her and from the use of other objects, the Hungarian artist gives new approach capable of building small collages and sculptures of great artistic beauty.

This movement has its closest reference in the Povera Art also known as “poor art”, an artistic movement that became known in the late sixties in Italy, whose creators were using disposable or material considered worthless for creating your works.
