This exhibition showcases 15 contemporary photographic works from the Telefónica Collection, created between the late 1990s and early 2000s. It highlights the evolving artistic uses of photography, exploring themes of intimacy and the meaning of spaces through the lens of international artists.

The exhibition ‘La Colección de Fotografía de Telefónica: Interiores’ brings together 15 significant works from the Telefónica Collection, a holding of over 100 pieces that span from the 1970s to the early 21st century. Hosted at the Fundación Valentín de Madariaga in Seville, the show focuses on the innovative ways artists have employed photography as a medium of expression, particularly in exploring intimate themes through fragmented representations of spaces, streets, and interiors. The exhibition features renowned international photographers such as Andrés Serrano, Miriam Bäckström, Hanna Collins, Günther Förg, Mona Hatoum, Candida Höfer, Jorge Molder, Sherrie Levine, Esko Männikko, Sam Taylor-Wood, and Gonzalo Puch. As explained by the curator Pepe Cobo, the displayed photographs delve into the meaning of the intimate, using diverse fragments of spaces, streets, and church interiors to create surprising interpretations for the viewer. The museography intentionally creates contradictions to highlight the artist's manipulation through fiction and desire. This exhibition serves as a panoramic view of photography's ascension to a preferred status within art collections, museums, and contemporary art centers, reflecting its recognition as a legitimate medium for artistic expression.
