Lecture by Nicolás Combarro and Marta Ramos Yzquierdo at Civivox Pompelo

 Friday, May 22, 7:00 p.m.
Civivox Grapefruit
This event is organized in collaboration with the City of Pamplona.

Artist Nicolás Combarro and curator Marta Ramos Yzquierdo will give a talk on the exhibition *Mirar a otro lado*, on view at the MUN through August 9. 

The lecture will provide insight into both the exhibition and the creative and research process that Combarro employs in his photography, which he uses as a tool to give voice to forgotten stories from our country. 

Nicolás Combarro (A Coruña, 1979) begins with an encounter with reality, establishing a dialogue with buildings, their remains, or structures that typically go unnoticed and that the artist encounters as he traverses urban, semi-urban, or rural areas. These vestiges serve as the starting point for his work. After documenting and researching them, he intervenes in and photographs these remains of industrial buildings, abandoned structures, self-built structures, foundations, shelters, and places of confinement and repression. He has thus compiled a catalog of images and documentation that allow him to investigate the ideologies hidden within various types of architecture, but also how the relationships between reality and fiction, memory and forgetting, or between the individual and the collective, are articulated in the construction of the visual regime.
