Loop Barcelona Festival

The festival reflects on human beings’ capacity to imagine, project and desire. Through films, videos and installations, visions unfold that blur the boundaries between reality and fiction, art and technology, body and landscape. In every work lies the question of what an image is and to what extent we can trust it.

Among the most notable pieces are To the Wind by Mar Reykjavik (La Casa Elizalde), Night Fishing with Ancestors by the Karrabing collective (Centre Excursionista de Catalunya), and Wind and Songdelay by Joan Jonas (Museu Picasso). In addition, the exhibition Strawberry Fields, by Julia Montilla, winner of the Video Creation Prize, marks one of the milestones of this edition.

Loop is not only a festival, but a network of experiences that comes to life in museums, cinemas and cultural spaces throughout the city —from CCCB to MACBA, via Fabra i Coats and the Museo de la Música— with performances, screenings, talks and book presentations.

This year, Loop Barcelona invites us to lose ourselves in its reflections: images that fade and reappear, like mirages that force us to look, but also to look at ourselves.
