Trafficking the Earth is included in the exhibition Reassemblage curated by Teresa Arozena.
The photographic practices that converge in this exhibition requires us to turn the image into a question of knowledge and not one of illusion. To ask ourselves about images, to wonder where they come from and why they came into being, and to understand them as montage and discourse, given that the best way of thinking and understanding is precisely to start out from the practice of storytelling.
The majority of photographic practices showcased here operate from the visualization of out-of-field zones: the invisible layers of history and the backstage behind dominant narratives where new encounters and chains of meanings are reassembled.
Artists: Allan Sekula, Tacita Dean, Ana Mendieta, John Baldessari, Dornith Doherty, Emmet Gowin, Marine Hugonnier, Patricia Dauder, Traces of Nitrate collective, Axel Hütte, Fermín Jiménez Landa, Natalia Lassalle-Morillo, Manuel Martín González, Robert Adams, Edward Burtynsky, Gerhard Richter, Ansel Adams, Valentín Vallhonrat.
