Exhibition summary

This exhibition at Museo ICO, part of PHotoEspaña, showcases the work of photographer Juan Baraja, exploring the effects of time and the role of light in architecture. It expands on a previous project with new photographic commissions and a catalog.

Curatorial context

The Museo ICO presents "Juan Baraja. Contra todo lo que reluce: efectos del tiempo," an exhibition that aligns with the festival PHotoEspaña, building upon the project 'Olvidados del tiempo' initiated by Fundación Cerezales Antonino y Cinia. This iteration expands the scope with new photographic commissions and includes a dedicated catalog. The exhibition features ten photographic projects spanning European geography, from Iceland to Spain, Italy, and Portugal. Juan Baraja's work centers on architecture, examining light not merely as illumination but as a fundamental constructive element. Time is another pivotal theme, manifested in multiple layers within his photographs. Firstly, there's the captured instant of the photograph itself. Secondly, his series, often developed over extended periods, reflect longer durations and the subtle temporal changes in the depicted objects. Finally, a more subjective and complex temporal layer imbues his work with a melancholic character that is both captivating and disorienting. The exhibition is a joint effort by Fundación ICO and Fundación Cerezales Antonino y Cinia, and is part of PHotoEspaña 2022.
