Meet the ISSP artist in residency, who is with us until mid-November, Joan Calsina! He will talk about his previous projects and show the work in progress made in Riga.
A talented young photographer and filmmaker from Barcelona, Catalonia, Joan explores the world with an expressive, observant, and inquiring eye, helping to create his unique vision. He is interested in unknown places, fleeting experiences, memories, and the subconscious.
During his stay in Riga, Joan is experimenting with creating an entirely new environment, trying to find connections between apparently disparate elements.
NB! Applications to the ISSP Residency are open for international photographers and artists working with photography on an ongoing basis.
