📖 The story of two emancipations

The exhibition traces the parallel evolution of Spanish society and photographic language. On one hand, it addresses how society moved past a paternalistic framework toward modernity following World War II and the end of the Franco regime.

On the other hand, it reflects the medium's own emancipation, evolving from small-format informational work into ambitious, large-scale, and contemplative artistic imagery.

🎨 Dialogue with European modernity

Through Florian Ebner's curatorial approach to the Foto Colectania Collection, these works demonstrate how Spanish photography actively engaged with the broader aesthetics of its time.
