Curated by Erica Veganó, this show is a retrospective of American avant-garde photographer Duane Michals’ work. Aged 84, Michals continues to take photographs and adapt the practice to his vision. From the beginning of his career, he never intended to document fact or ‘truth’, but to deal with metaphysical aspects of life. This exhibition pays tribute to his innovation in the field, displaying his photographs in chronological order to reveal distinct styles and phases of his career. Although the style of the images themselves has changed, Michals has always strived to create a storyline through a series of photos rather than telling the whole tale in a singular shot. He blurs the line between photography and other disciplines, such as poetry. His subject matter has remained the same as well, often portraying places and figures in black and white as a way to communicate with the viewer.
