The exhibition 'Mírame, mírame,' curated by Ciuco Gutierrez, gathers Spanish photographers who reflect on the theatrical aspect of human identity as expressed through fashion. In an era where social conventions and the constant pursuit of new trends can generate anxiety, this exhibition examines how clothing and accessories function as a 'disguise' to construct the characters we play in the grand theater of life.

The exhibition aims not for an exhaustive survey but to create a space for viewers to engage with the artists' diverse expressive language and the playful yet profound engagement with desire and self-representation.
