Exposure La Obra Social La Caixa hosts since 30 November an exhibition of the winning scores in FotoPres'07. Since its creation in 1982, the prize FotoPres is one of the signs of identity of the Fundación "la Caixa". He was born with the desire to make visible the work of photojournalists, not valued or known. Since then it has echoed the changes that have occurred in the photo press, which has become increasingly, a means to sensitize the viewer to the conflict and to create an opinion. Over more than a quarter century, FotoPres has been a witness to the transformations of our environment and the growing interest in social issues. The exhibition brings together FotoPres'07 the work of three photographers honored at last year's competition: Elisa Gonzalez, for work on Alzheimer's, Lorena Ros, a series of photographs of child abuse, and Pep Bonet, a report on the effects of civil war in Sierra Leone, which takes as its starting point a football tournament with players who have suffered some form of amputation.
