a jordi bernadó le interesa la fotografía como un medio para explicar la ciudad, la arquitectura y el panorama urbano.
entiende la práctica fotográfica como una vía de conocimiento.
su ambición y rigor cuando decodifica su entorno ha trascendido en una obra extensa, personal y compleja.

una vez más, la imaginación del espectador dibujará lo que queda más allá de los límites de la fotografía siguiendo las ingeniosas pistas del fotógrafo.
