Exhibition summary

This exhibition by Ane-Mai Höök explores the intersection of photography and painting, focusing on the friction and transformation between these two mediums. The work draws from a photographic archive of non-places and transitory urban spaces, which the artist interprets through painting to reveal rhythms and human presence.

Curatorial context

In 'Ya es otro ahora', Ane-Mai Höök investigates the dynamic tension between photography and painting. Rather than viewing the two as separate mediums, the exhibition presents them as a site of transformation, where photographic documentation of fleeting, anonymous 'non-places' is translated into the language of painting. The photographs serve as a starting point, capturing brief human presences that inhabit spaces without fully claiming them, leaving behind only echoes of movement. The resulting paintings do not merely replicate the images but rather modulate and embody their rhythms. By interrupting the immediacy of the original photographic record, the works invite viewers to linger and engage with the fluid, subjective experience of time. Through the deliberate use of light as both a physical and pictorial element, Höök obscures and reveals, encouraging a contemplative engagement with the transient nature of the spaces she depicts.

Admission and ticket notes

The exhibition is hosted at the Juan Manuel Lumbreras Gallery. Visitors are encouraged to refer to the gallery's official website or contact them directly for current admission policies and visiting hours during the exhibition run until April 24, 2026.
