Angel Albarrán and Anna Cabrera have been working collaboratively as photographers since 1996. The artistic duo has created a universe of exquisite beauty around time, identity and memory. The main features of their works are a diversity of photographic techniques creating images full of craftmanship and stunning beauty. 

Influenced by both Western and Eastern thinkers and artists, they use the photographic medium to question preconceived ideas about time, space and identity. Their work achieves a new notion of perception as a key element in understanding not only art but life experience itself.

The exhibition shows a selection of over 90 images from their most renowned series, created during almost two decades of photographic work: The Mouth of Krishna, The Indestructible, This is you here, Kairos and Nyx.

The Mouth of Krishna is widely represented in the exhibition. The series is inspired by the legend of the god Krishna as a child: while other children plucked fruit from a tree, Krishna ate dirt from the ground. His mother scolded him and demanded that he open his mouth and there, she saw the overwhelming vastness of the universe. This story is the metaphor that serves as the starting point for The Mouth of Krishna, the result of a search on the multiplicity, structure and verisimilitude of reality that we perceive.

In addition, the exhibition will include elements that are part of the complex printing process of the photographs—that can span over several days—and a selection of their photobooks, some of which are already sold out.
