The photographic career of Ferran Freixa i Pintó, known for having immortalised the Liceu in Barcelona damaged by the flames, began as a self-taught artist in 1973, after receiving training as a draughtsman and painter. Towards the end of this decade he turned his camera towards what would become his main subject of interest, architecture and interior spaces. Thus, his work, which we can define as “subjective documentary”, is made up of various series that formally explore both the effects of the passage of time on ruined buildings (the photographs of Tarraco, Rome or Florence from the 1990s, or the record of the old abandoned textile colonies from 2000), and the fragile frozen instant that remains awaiting the reestablishment of human activity (such as the works on the shop windows of Barcelona, ​​as well as the images that capture neat tablecloths, dishes and napkins in restaurants). It is also worth mentioning his more experimental projects, in which he uses added elements to reinforce the content represented, such as the crumpled plastic that acts as a filter for the lens, simulating the movement of the sea, in the series on the port of Barcelona; or the inclusion of the structure of a vehicle in the snapshots he takes during his walks through the Eixample.
