Audioteca FotográficaAlbarrán Cabrera - Remembering the FuturePhotography, on its own, functions as a learning tool with the help of our memories. Remembering is nothing more than a process of continuous reconstruction and recreation. This mechanism is triggered either voluntarily or when a sensation starts it. When we look at an image, the brain tries to interpret it using our stored memories, generating new memories and new ideas in the process. As a dynamic structure, the brain changes whenever it experiences a new sensation or causes a new thought. In fact, interpreting an image will not only change the way we project the future and add new...2023-08-3101 min
Audioteca FotográficaAlbarrán CabreraAngel Albarrán (b.1969, Barcelona) and Anna Cabrera (b. 1969, Sevilla) have worked collaboratively as art photographers since 1996. A rich inner philosophy about memory and experience — and a special curiosity for photographic chemistry — guide their aesthetic practice. Influenced by both occidental and oriental thinkers and artists, their photographs question our assumptions of time, place and identity in order to stimulate a new understanding of one’s own experience and perception. For the artists, “being conscious of our surroundings isn’t just an important part of life —our surroundings and how we interpret them is life as we know it.”
Albarran Cabrera's photographs hav...2023-08-3101 min

La SubterráneaLa Subterránea #4 La muerte: Camino a XibalbáNo es una, sino muchas. Tantas como culturas o seres habitan este mundo. A nosotros nos enseñó Juan Rulfo y sus ancestros que la muerte es un camino que hemos de transitar, donde se entrelazan pasado, presente y futuro.
A los seres de la Subterránea el agua nos llegó hasta el cuello en el anterior programa, en esa isla imaginaria de San Borondón. De ahí no nos quedó otra que bajar más. Ahora nos toca recorrer Xibalbá, el inframundo según el Popol Vuh, el libro que reúne la mitología maya.
