The exhibition Tan lejos, tan Cercas – il mondo di un narratore (So Far, so Near – the World of a Storyteller) is a pictorial illustration of the cultural and emotional universe of Javier Cercas.
Daniel Mordzinski’s photographs are a tribute to his author friend, and reveal a world of family sentiments portrayed in moments of ordinary daily life.
But as well as the more private, intimate aspects of his life, these photographs reveal to us the figures with whom Cercas felt a strong intellectual affinity – Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Mario Vargas Llosa and many others. Thereafter, the images depicting his journey from Girona to Barcelona show Cercas in some of the places where the events played out by many of the protagonists of his novels took place.
