Todo tiene su tiempo

La Mirada (the gaze) presents nine outside their country almost unknown Latin American artist-photographers. The works of the last 20 years range from straight photography to the staged image. This title describes not only gaze of the camera directed towards a specific subject, but also the artistic attitude and mental approach of the nine artists and their diverse views on photography.

Complicado entender la vida de uno sin el otro. El Real Madrid abrió sus ojos al mundo de los vivos en 1902, el Atlético, en 1903. Un año no es nada cuando se habla de un siglo de historia y pasión. Se puede y debe decir que desde entonces viven de la mano. Cerca pero lo suficientemente lejos para mantener las distancias. Cada uno, con sus vicisitudes, sus momentos de gloria y sus momentos de pena. Cada uno fiel a una idiosincrasia que ha ido forjando a su manera, sin mirar mucho al de enfrente, pero sin perderle nunca de vista.

"The birds, now immobile were organized in a scanner and converted into disturbing [photographic] images that maintain their vigorous splendor, sumptuous colors; the eternal presence of the beautiful "Duino Elegies" where poet Rainer Maria Rilke sings to the lethal birds of the soul and the beauty of the angels that announce their death are the inspirational reference for the artist"--Colophon. Includes short story "The man who spoke with birds" by Ethel Krauze.
