The World Day of Photography by Unesco, August 19
Víctor Martí comments: ‘The III Commemoration of the World Day of Photography by Unesco is dedicated this year 2024 to photographs taken by amateur and beginner photographers. The central theme is Binissalem’s participation in the National Grand Prix Competition, Fil-loxera de l’Infern, and the Elements Exhibition, as the representative of the municipalities of the Balearic Islands. In this way, Binissalem pays tribute to its people and its environment.
This III Commemoration of the World Day of Photography by Unesco, allows us to delight in different photographs that show the most endearing moments experienced by the participants and organisers from the moment the news is given to the people until the participation of Binissalem as a representative of the municipalities of the Balearic Islands, in the programme broadcast on 12 August 2024, says Martí.
This commemoration is accompanied by the Elements Exhibition, in which the four elements are represented.
Empedocles imagined a complex physical model: the perceptible world was explained by combining the four material elements: Earth, Water, Air and Fire.
The four elements of nature, Earth, Water, Air and Fire, were, for many ancient doctrines, the basic constituents of matter and explained the behaviour of the physical world.
The authors are intimately linked to the elements. We now take a first-hand look at the members of the Elements Exhibition.
He will represent the element Earth. Different sculptures made of stone and metal will bring us closer to the Earth.
EARTH
Firmness, stability, tenacity, search for concreteness, patience, caution and security. It is the element of strength, resistance to change, and inflexibility, this element allows us to establish and maintain stability in relationships, ideas, and projects and to set limits.
MANELA GRÀCIA MARÍN
She will represent the element of water. Different pieces of furniture, restored by her students, belonging to the 20th century, and representative of the trades and uses of the Balearic Islands, will return to modernity. Water, her element, reflects the Mediterranean, which will be the Network.
WATER
The history of philosophy and the rites of millenary cultures and religions confirm this: in all of them, water is a symbol of life, purification and hope, values that are a common denominator that unites us and that we should take much more into account.
He will represent the element Water. Different traditional Mallorcan costumes from the 19th century. The Mediterranean Sea is an intercontinental sea, that is, it is located between Europe, Asia and Africa. Its waters bathe the coasts of 21 countries, 69 rivers flow into this sea and it has several important ports of great activity.
WATER
This large body of water is an important climate modifier, as it retains heat. There is a type of climate that has its name: the Mediterranean climate. This climate can be found, in addition to the entire Mediterranean basin, between 30º and 45º latitude of the Equator, parts of the extreme south of Africa, the west of Australia, Chile, California and Oregon.
The peasant costume is an important part of the history and culture of Mallorca. Called ‘vestit de pagès’ or ‘vestit a l’ample’, the one that has survived until the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century is the result of a continuous evolution in the Mallorcan way of dressing, but already very reduced in terms of the diversity of pieces, fabrics, footwear, jewellery .
BERNADÍ CARBONELL MUT
It represents the element of Air. Different sheets of birds, painted in charcoal, native to the Balearic Islands, and many in danger of extinction, have been wisely drawn.
AIR
Air is an essential element for the development of life on Earth. Without it, plants, animals and human beings could not exist. Air: the element of life on Earth. Air is a mixture of gases that form the atmosphere, which is why it is found everywhere.
CATALINA MARTORELL CASTELLÓ

FIRE
