The exhibition \u201cIN PASSING\u201d features 35 photographic works created between 2020 and 2026 that offer surprising insights into his perception of the world.<\/p>\n\n
Anyone walking through the exhibition \u201cIN PASSING\u201d will encounter a different side of him: a personal, experimental, and at times unexpected one.<\/p>\n\n
The title says it all. \u201cIN PASSING\u201d showcases a broad spectrum of subjects, perspectives, and moods. Claude Ginesta moves through his surroundings with a keen eye, capturing subjects that others might otherwise pass by. The approximately 30 works on display were created over the past six years and are being shown publicly in this form for the first time.<\/p>\n\n
Between Intuition and Construction<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n
The contrasts in the images also reflect two sides of the photographer. As a real estate entrepreneur, Ginesta moves daily in a world of the built and the planned\u2014a world of structures, decisions, and responsibility. In his photography, he simultaneously seeks out the fleeting, the atmospheric, and that which cannot be fully controlled.<\/p>\n\n

He finds artistic inspiration, among other things, in his favorite artist, Gerhard Richter, and Richter\u2019s use of blur and smudging. Long before the advent of digital photography, Claude Ginesta experimented on his own with old film, multiple exposures, and filters placed in front of the lens. Today, he uses digital tools to alter the color, contrast, and tonality of his photographs. He does not use artificial intelligence in this process. The starting point is always his own photograph.<\/p>\n\n
This opens up yet another level of the two realities: the world that existed before the camera and the one that emerges from it through perception and editing. Salvador Dal\u00ed succinctly summed up this tension: \u201cOne day, we will have to officially admit that what we have christened \u2018reality\u2019 is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
The Unknown Side of the Entrepreneur<\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n
For Ginesta, photography has served as a counterbalance to his professional life for decades.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cPhotography provides me with a balance to my hectic work life. While listening to classical music, I can select and edit my photos and turn the captured moment into something of my own.\u201d<\/em> Claude Ginesta<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

No people are visible in the photographs on display. Instead, the focus is on nature, light, movement, architecture, and form.<\/p>\n\n

The fact that Ginesta is exhibiting this previously private collection for the first time at Ginesta Real Estate\u2019s headquarters brings his two realities together spatially as well: the photographs become part of the very environment to which they simultaneously serve as a counterpoint.<\/p>\n\n
The photographs are on display in the office spaces and thus become part of the company\u2019s daily routine. Clients encounter the works quite naturally during consultations and visits.<\/p>\n\n
At the same time, \u201cIN PASSING\u201d is not intended to be reserved solely for a business audience. Claude Ginesta wants to make his photographic work accessible to a broader audience.<\/p>\n\n
All works are available for purchase. The proceeds will be donated to one of three selected nonprofit organizations to support their work.<\/p>\n\n
