Book Summary
ONZE X 2 is a poetic and visual anthology that invites the reader on a unique journey through the urban and emotional geography of Valls. Through eleven poetic voices and two photographic perspectives, the work establishes a creative dialogue between word and image. The result is a labyrinth of complicities that explores the most emblematic corners of the city, revealing the beauty hidden in the everyday. A book for strolling, evoking, and reinterpreting, where each poem and each photograph transforms the perception of urban space.
What is it about?
The work was born from the coincidence of an extraordinary celestial event that visits every ten years, serving as a pretext for an artistic exploration. ONZE X 2 proposes a journey through Valls via eleven poets and two photographers, all of whom are from Valls, who immerse themselves in a game of mutual inspiration. The book contains twenty-two poems and twenty-two photographs that engage in dialogue with one another, offering an intimate and symbolic vision of the city. Some images are recognizable, others merely suggested, but all seek to dignify the surroundings through language. The reader discovers that when passing through a street, a square, or a building, these spaces are no longer just what they seem, but whisper something more about their reason for being, as if people and places were part of an inseparable whole in an ocean of rituals.
