The Lola Massieu Hall in Santa Brígida is hosting the exhibition Dystopian Island Landscapes by Lanzarote artist Germán Páez, a work that merges photography and artificial intelligence to critique consumption and mass tourism.

The exhibition, organized by the Plastic Arts Center of the Cabildo de Gran Canaria and the Culture Department of the Santa Brígida City Council, is part of the Itineraria art circuit. Páez's work is characterized by its critical and incisive approach to the transformation of the island landscape due to consumption patterns, mass tourism, and urban overexploitation.
Throughout his career, Germán Páez has explored various artistic movements, from the informalism of creators like Millares, Tàpies, or Saura, to conceptual art and Neo-Dadaism, influenced by figures such as Yves Klein and Piero Manzoni. His most recent work focuses on urban photography, utilizing both traditional techniques and advanced digital tools, including artificial intelligence.
The artist advocates for the author's ability to direct the creative process, reinterpreting visual reality through these techniques. The exhibition will be open to the public until May 2nd.
As part of the program, Germán Páez will offer a guided tour on Saturday, April 18th, at 11:00 AM, for those interested in delving into the series' creation and its creative motivations. Additionally, on April 16th, at 6:00 PM, a workshop for individuals over 16 years old will be held, requiring prior registration via cultura@santabrigida.es.
