Iñaki Bergera   Architecture is a spatial and material reality bound to its perceptual nature, created from the architect’s scopic and analytical baggage, documented and disseminated through an imagery filtered by the photographer’s eye. The architect decants realit

Eduardo Prieto   From hand to eye, from eye to hand, and either way to architecture. This is the route proposed by Duccio Malagamba in a highly personal but also celebratory book that passes not only through hands and eyes, but also through two time periods: before a

Iñaki Bergera   On view this summer of 2024 at Museo ICO is ‘Moments in Architecture,’ an exhibition originally set up at the Vitra Design Museum. It comes to Madrid as part of the PhotoEspaña festival, but this is not the first time for the spectacular photography

Andrés Trapiello   Stores in 50 Spanish provinces are used to paint a graphic and literary portrait of an urban landscape of traditional charm that deserves to be saved from oblivion.

Iñaki Bergera   From childhood we want to climb trees, reach the top of a tower, or stand on a cliff’s edge for thrilling views. Since the 19th century the modern city has been associated with verticality, the dream of ever taller buildings in defiance of structural

Kurt W. Forster   The photographer of Sicilian origins had a sharp eye for capturing the most human and the most emotional dimensions of the places he visited …

During the lockdown imposed by the pandemic, archaeological photographer Luigi Spina had the opportunity to roam freely – and even to reside in – the ruins of the polis that was buried by the Vesuvius in the year 79 AD, including visits to some of th

In her snapshots, Lynne Cohen deliberately flirts with ambiguity. Even though the interiors photographed are located in completely functional places, it is difficult to distinguish an installation or ready-made from a spontaneous take.

For the Spanish Pavilion at the 18th Venice Architecture Biennale, celebrated in this edition under the motto ‘The Laboratory of the Future,’ the architects Eduardo Castillo-Vinuesa and Manuel Ocaña curated ‘Foodscapes’, a multidisciplinary project t

Iñaki Bergera   The enthusiasm of Angelo Maggi, a historian of architectural photography, led the heirs of George Everard Kidder Smith (1913-1997) to move his archive from New York to the Università Iuav di Venezia. A fruit of this donation is this first monograph e

In 1949, years after he was given his first camera, Fan Ho (Shanghai, 1931) emigrated to Hong Kong with this family, like so many others escaping the consequences of the Chinese War. This demographic shift worsened living standards dramatically and p

Through visual studies such as Marges or Distensions, a small selection of which is featured in the following pages, photographer Jérémie Lenoir explores the concepts of ‘third landscape’ or ‘non-place’ – phenomena that are shown now at a large scale

What the British photographer defines as his true passion is to move in the backstage looking for scenes within the reach of just a few. His work is characterized by a unique understanding of color and symmetry adorned with touches of dark humor. Asi

Pepa Cassinello   The German photographer Sibylle von Kaskel took mythical images of Torroja’s work that gave him exposure and the praise of other masters…

While architectural photography is typically known to showcase isolated buildings and pristine environments, the work of Iwan Baan (Alkmaar, Netherlands, 1975) goes beyond this approach of reproducing artificially perfected environments. The book Mom

Javier Campano (Madrid, 1950) developed an interest in photography at a young age. In contact with the world of art thanks, to a great extent, to his brother Miguel Ángel, he started working as a professional photographer at museums and galleries, re

Far from conveying a conformist image of Latin America, where he has spent most of his life, Paolo Gasparini (born in Gorizia, Italy, in 1934 and nationalized as Venezuelan in 1954) moves away from ethnocentrism through photographs that reflect his c

Inspired by memories from his childhood, Todd Hido has devoted over twenty years to capturing the feeling of isolation that comes at night in the archetypal suburban neighbor-hoods of America. With no illumination what-soever aside from the diffuse l

Jorge Fuembuena’s photographs do not aim to document the world, but to take up a stance in regards to it. His work goes beyond the merely descriptive and, somewhat like the landscape painters in the past with Claude glasses, sets out to build new rea

Urban palimpsests help us understand the cities we live in. These evanescent traces, from the diachronic superpositions of buildings or streets to the faded remains of a sign or writing on a party wall, tell stories about the lifestyles and concerns

In the era of post-truth, and at a time when the documentary role of photography is being put into question, the work of Thomas Demand (Munich, 1964) moves within the liminal space between reality and fiction. With recent exhibitions at the Botín Cen

More than half a century after the first space ventures, which left memorable images of the Moon and of our planet – ‘Earthrise’ from Apollo 8 or ‘Blue Marble’ from Apollo 17 still impress us today –, human space exploration takes a step further and

Iñaki Bergera   The Botín Centre’s current show on Thomas Demand presents his photos of realistic models that he himself  makes with paper and cardboard.

The London-based Chilean artist Francisco Ibáñez has been taking photographs since he was given his first camera as a Christmas gift at the age of 14. After training to become an architect, he turned his long-held interest in photography into a caree
