Albert Giralt's work "Duarja" could be included within the so-called "pictorialist" photography, but that could define it only on the surface,since deep down, the search for a poetic meaning in the objects, the landscapeor in the mystery of looks, transcends pure representation, a non-narrative representation that condenses time and reduces it to an instant. Albert Giralt rediscovers the beauty of the obsolete, the forgotten, the subtle nesting by decadent, redefining what he has previously grasped guided by intuition, in a reading that isolates the motives, focuses them and provides them with an aura of intimacy, a second epidermis that adds to the one provided by oblivion. His frames reveal a world that, because it is right there, next to it, is invisible due to its own condition of proximity.
