Curators: Inma Blanch and Eva del Llano
Renovation of the Ortiz Echagüe space at the Museum with the presentation of new photographs from the different series that make up the production of this author. Along with these images, there is an explanatory video about his life and work, a selection of the books he published throughout his career and an explanation of the technical process, direct charcoal on Fresson paper, which characterized his production.
Through the selection we present, we intend to make an approach to the work of this photographer, who never became a professional in this medium, but whose work transcends the figure of the amateur or amateur photographer. As on previous occasions, the selection of works and their presentation has been made by two graduates of the fourth promotion of the Master's Degree in Curatorial Studies and junior curators of the Museum, Imma Blanch and Eva del Llano.
