No traces of Cartagena have yet been found either in China or in Poland, but in Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, Cyprus, the United States, Peru, Jamaica, Panama, Chile and Tunisia.
More than 200 cities, towns, villages ... sharing the Phoenician origin of its name: Qart Hadast (New Town).
From Cartagena de Indias in Colombia to Cartagena de Espana, passing through Peru, Mexico, Chile and Denmark, all of them were represented in La Mar de Músicas 2002 in the extensive exhibition 'Al fondo, el mar' with photographs of Juan Manuel Díaz Burgos and Moisés Ruiz shown in 12 rooms of the city.
Those photos, fifteen years later, take the streets of the Spanish Cartagena in La Mar de Músicas 2017, which exhibits them in the urban furniture of the city.
'In the background, the sea', an expression taken from a poem by Vicente Huidobro, was the title of the photographic exhibition that gathered more than 400 images of 47 of these Carthagenas and Carthage scattered throughout the world: from the shores of the Mediterranean to the Mississippi, from the forests of the State of Maine to the Philippine Island of Negros.
Two million Carthaginians, Carthaginians, Carthaginians, Carthaginians or Carthaginians.
The photographers Juan Manuel Díaz Burgos (Cartagena, 1951) and Moisés Ruiz Cantero (Cartagena, 1953) traveled for 10 years treasuring tens of thousands of negatives of those places that were part of that exhibition and that today show themselves again in the streets of Spanish Cartagena.
