For a photographic research project, me and a fellow photographer went to Barcelona. While working on photographic assignments for a German book publisher, I discovered a wealth of hidden infrastructural gems above and below the ground, which are presented in this photo book. The book is divided into four chapters: 1. Besi, 2. Tres Xemeneies, and 3. Water Reservoir, each highlighting specific key developments within the modern urban planning of Barcelona. Chapter 4 frames these discoveries within Barcelona's cityscape. Due to the recent removal of the legendary Besi-tunnel boring machine, featured in chapter one, "Besi, Tres Xemeneies, Barcelona" has now gained historical significance as it documents the long-negotiated public transport plan and its challenging engineering. The books presents the reader with unique perspectives on the hidden depths and heights of this Mediterranean capital.
