“The Frustrated Journey” by Enric Farrés. Exhibition and talk between the artist and Miguel Ángel Blanca

The artist Enric Farrés Duran — originally from Palafrugell and a descendant of Josep Pla — attempts to recreate the maritime journey that the writer narrated in Un viatge frustrat (1918), but this time ensuring a successful arrival. To avoid repeating the failure, Farrés Duran designs a navigation system that offers high chances of success: his small boat will be towed at all times by a larger boat, equipped with sails and an engine, and crewed by a renowned collector. On the 22nd of November 2024, the artist will present the film together with director Miguel Ángel Blanca.
