EXHIBITIONS / PAST / DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY FROM CONTEMPORARY SPAIN: HERE AND NOW

TEXT

Aquí y Ahora (Here and Now) is a photography exhibition jointly organised by the Instituto Cervantes and the Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo AECID (Spanish Agency for International Cooperation for Development). This exhibition comprises fourteen personal representations of themes, both old and new, defining contemporary Spain: immigration, bulls, tourism, water, land, people, housing, marriage, family memory, terrorism, motorbikes, and religion.

This project is an initiative of Nophoto, a contemporary, non-conventional, photographers' collective.

The works of Nophoto offer an experimental insight into everyday life that sometimes leading to the extraordinary.

The exhibition revisits contemporary Spain, reaching into intimate places to traversing, inhabiting, walking through them and sometimes settling. The photographers have preferred not to be tourists, or intrepid reporters, not seeking a newsworthy event or even truth. At most, they search for honesty. The exhibition can be seen from December 8 through December 31, 2010 at Milli Reasürans Art Gallery.
