Curatorial context
The Museo Tiflológico hosted 'Marcelo Bilevich: Light & Dark' from June 11 to September 13, 2008, marking the first solo exhibition of Marcelo Bilevich, an amateur photographer with a visual impairment. The exhibition presented 19 photographs, created in both black and white and color, that captured a diverse range of subjects including everyday motifs, landscapes, and experimental portraits. Bilevich, originally from Mar de Plata, Argentina, is known for his experimental approach to photography. His work captured various environments and situations, from a sunrise in Mar de Plata to a snapshot of Madrid's Gran Vía, a landscape in Cantabria, and even the detailed moment of a coffee drop falling into a cup.
The collection also included modern portraits of anonymous subjects in motion, such as the photograph 'Mirayo' (Ibiza, 2007), depicting a laughing young man with defiant blue eyes. Other snapshots focused on daily life details, like 'Claudia y papá' (Madrid, 2007), showing a child holding her father's finger. Bilevich expressed a particular interest in capturing movement in portraiture as a personal challenge, noting that portraits allow for the revelation of subtle details and aspects of personality not immediately visible. He credits digital technology with helping him overcome initial challenges faced with analog photography, where errors were only discovered after costly development, allowing for greater experimentation and refinement in his spectacular creations.
