We will soon be launching a new collaboration with Soho House Barcelona's new space, Soho & Friends, where works by four of our represented artists will be exhibited. The curatorial concept explores the use of the photographic image as support / text where issues that have to do with symbolism converge (tradition, travel, home, autobiography). These works also revolve around "decorative" or ornamental creation, understanding this as the use / appropriation / assembly of elements that combine a deep meaning with plastic values that border on "kitsch", magical and poetic nuances. Artists: Bego Antón, Clémentine Balcaen, Julio Galeote and Sybil Montet
Artists:Bego Antón, Jorge Fuembuena, Julio Galeote, Dmitry Lookianov, Laura C. Vela, Gloria Oyarzabal, Ekaterina Anokhina
Rehome is a photographic exhibition that questions the feelings and challenges of simply coming out of our homes again after lockdown. Reactivating the gaze and how to reoccupy our body. Photography, as Serge Tisseron says, is a way to approach a physical assimilation of this (new) world. The concept is a result from a cultural dialogue between Spain and Russia for the first Photential presentation curated by Ana Folguera in Madrid and co- curated by Moscow based Kristina Romanova. Artists: Julio Galeote, Anastasia Pozhidaeva, Dmitry Lookianov, Jorge Fuembuena, Laura C. Vela, Lena Tsibizova

Photential was created as a meeting point. A space to build relationships between different worlds, disciplines and people. For this, we have resorted to an infallible tool: photography. Photography is capable of dissolving borders, artistic categories and pre-established norms. In our desire to create a heterogeneous and multidisciplinary space, we have collaborated with curator who […]
“I don’t believe in the moral exclusivity of photojournalism. It’s everyone’s responsibility.” When you see Gloria’s work, it’s almost as if you’re looking at a detailed collage, or discovering a palimpsest. There is always something more to be found, another underlying layer. Perhaps that’s why her amazing and powerful fotografi is so , more than […]
I have heard more than one wine expert say “the finest wine is the one that you like best”, which requires us to acknowledge the inherent subjectivity of human evaluation. By implication, it also implies that it is impossible for one to think entirely objectively, based solely on rational parameters. That is to say, it […]
First of all, I would like to ask you about your background in photography. What led you to curatorial and editorial world? My background is one that only a small cohort of individuals know nostalgically in a linear or sequential form. It is based on extraordinary relationships forged with people who trusted me to participant […]
Bego Anton wanted to be a writer before she became a photographer. Perhaps that’s why her work is enveloped in a fine narrative that plays with fantasy and reality. Begito Antón (Bilbao, Spain, 1983) takes photos like someone who writes children stories. Interestingly, she also wanted to be a war correspondent. While little remains of those […]

Mo […]
When we all first saw the music for Rosalia’s hit Malamente, there was no doubt we asked: Holy shit, who made this? And if we go back further in time, the same thing happened when we saw Bombay, by El Guincho,which was back in 2010. The answer lies in the now consolidated production company Canada, responsible not only for some of […]
