Gabriel Lacomba: SOMA-TRANS-LUCID

The Mallorcan artist, Gabriel Lacomba, opened an exhibition last Saturday called SOMA-TRANS-LUCID 93/00, at the Torre de ses Puntes in Manacor. The exhibit is a travelling one and once finished in Manacor, will transfer to Calvià, Sant Llorenç, Felanitx, Marratxí and Palma, with the support of the different Town Councils and the Balearic Government, the Mallorcan Council and Sa Nostra. Finally the works will travel to Menorca, and will be exhibited in May 2001 at the Menorcan Museum in Mahon.

SOMA-TRANS-LUCID combines two photographic processes in the same image: Photogram and that taken with the stenopeic camera. It is a work that the artist started in 1990, with a series of 10 images, that won the BIENNAL de BARCELONA in 1991. The precedent of SOMA-TRANS-LUCID was a series of photograms, in colour, called "Emprentes" that won the Ciutat de Palma de Fotografía in 1990. The last time that SOMA-TRANS-LÚCIDO was exhibited was in 1993 at the "SA NOSTRA" cultural centre in Palma. The exhibit that was opened in Manacor, adds to the title of the series a reference to the period that had not be shown until now (93/00).
