The exhibition 'Players. Los fotógrafos de Magnum entran al juego' (Players. Magnum Photographers Enter the Game) delves into the concept of play as interpreted by 46 photographers from various generations of the renowned Magnum agency. Curated by Cristina de Middel and Martin Parr, the exhibition brings together approximately 200 black and white and color photographs that explore different meanings of 'player' and 'play' – from sports and performance to everyday activities and the photographer's own playful approach. This collection reveals a more relaxed and intimate side of the agency, showcasing its rich history and diverse artistic styles. The exhibition traces a unique retrospective of the Magnum agency, featuring both historical figures like Jim Goldberg, Bruce Davidson, Susan Meiselas, and Elliott Erwitt, alongside more recent additions such as Alec Soth, Mark Stuart, and Christopher Anderson. The photographs capture a wide array of subjects related to play, including children at play, sports, musical performances, and even contemporary phenomena like Pokémon GO. The aim is to present photography without the pressure of documenting universal truths, allowing for a more lighthearted and personal engagement with the medium.

The exhibition is open during Espacio Fundación Telefónica's regular hours. Entry is free, but specific timed visits and guided tours may be available.
