The CRAI campus Catalunya hosts the exhibition “What Remains When the Name Changes” by the artist Lluc Queralt

The project invites reflection on perspective, authorship, and the meaning of the photographic image

The exhibition “What Remains When the Name Changes” by the artist Lluc Queralt.

Through the Aula d’Art (URV), the artist Lluc Queralt presents these days his work “What Remains When the Name Changes” at the CRAI Campus Catalunya.

This exhibition brings together anonymous photographs collected over more than twenty years in second-hand markets around the world. The images, detached from their original authors, are reinterpreted through an act of appropriation: they are assigned the names of renowned photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson or Diane Arbus. This operation creates a tension between what we see and what we believe we see, questioning our trust in the image and the weight of authorship.

The exhibition is conceived as a visual essay that casts doubt on concepts such as authorship, legitimacy, and the value of photography in a contemporary context in which images often circulate without a clear origin. In this space of uncertainty, the visitor becomes an active part of the interpretive process—an invitation to look twice and to rethink the relationship between image, name, and meaning.

The exhibition can be visited from May 19 to June 5, 2026, in the lobby of the CRAI Campus Catalunya.
