"Clemente Bernad was born in Pamplona, Spain, in 1963. He
graduated in photography, cinema, and video at the University
of Barcelona.
In 1987 he started to realize reportages focusing on social
themes. His first project documented five years of Andalusian
labourers' daily life, "Jornaleros". In 1994 he received the
PhotoPress Award in Human Rights for his work entitled "Women
without a Land", a reportage on Saharawi women living in
refugee camps in Southern Algeria. Between 1994 and 1996 he
moved to Chiapas in order to document the effects of the
Zapatista revolution. Since 1995 Bernad has participated at
several photographic projects, such as: "Open Spain" at the CCP
of Chicago; "Alicante: a visual contemporary poem" for the CAM
foundation; "Pauvres de nous" (The poor among us), for the
association "Les petits frères des Pauvres", which was about
social outcasts in Europe; "The search for Spain" for National
Geographic/RBA; "Vision Mediterranean" for the CAM foundation;
"Málaga Body and Shadow"; "The New Madrid Cartography" focused
on Senegalese immigrants.
Over the past years Bernad has worked in the Basque Country,
capturing the sense of conflicts and contradictions of the
nationalist movement. At the end of 2000, he managed to finish
his "Basque Chronicles" long-term project. In 1999 La Fábrica
published his "Photobolsillo" volume (monographs on Spanish
photographers). In 2002 he published the book "Canopus",
regarding the Argentinian crisis. In 2004 he has published the
book "Malika's dream", story of the return of Malika
Laaroussi's corpse back home. Malika was a young girl from
Morocco who died trying to reach Spain on a small boat. Bernad
also realized a documentary film on the subject.
His photos have been exhibited at the Arles RIP, Visa pour
l'Image and at several collectives and individual exhibitions.
He has carried out his latest works in the Middle East and
Latin America.
Clemente Bernad currently lives in Pamplona and joined
Contrasto in 2000."
