‘Mucho por ver’ is an exhibition by J.M. Magano, a photographer with a visual impairment, showcasing 20 works created after the loss of his sight. The exhibition explores his unique vision and the sensations he captures through photography, utilizing complex, almost forgotten techniques.
The exhibition 'Mucho por ver' (Much to See) at the Museo Tiflológico presents twenty works by photographer J.M. Magano, an artist who creates profound images after experiencing a significant loss of vision. Magano's approach transcends literal representation, aiming to photograph sensations and inner feelings, stating, 'You can lose your sight, but never lose your gaze.' The exhibition delves into his unique perspective, where the absence of perfect vision is not a limitation but a different way of seeing and interpreting the world. He describes his work as an attempt to convey his sensations, often with images that have 'melted to black,' pushing viewers to seek vision from within. Magano manipulates negatives and employs complex, near-forgotten photographic processes from the 19th century, reminiscent of painting techniques, to imbue his works with specific intensities of light and shadow. This meticulous and artistic approach results in images that are distinct from contemporary photography and invite contemplation of the essence of sight and perception. Magano's journey with progressive vision loss allowed him to develop a way of memorizing and creating through feelings rather than solely through visual recall. His artistic practice involves building images from his internal experience, akin to a painter working on a canvas, calibrating the warmth of light and the depth of shadows. The exhibition highlights his mastery of intricate historical photographic techniques, bringing a tangible connection to the origins of the medium. J.M. Magano has a notable exhibition history, including participation in the International 'Alicia Alonso' Contest and the Week of Spain in Japan, as well as solo exhibitions. He is also recognized for his workshops and lectures on 19th-century photographic processes and is part of several photographic groups such as Grupo f67, La escuadrilla de la Plate, and Slow Photo.
The exhibition is located at Calle La Coruña, 18, Madrid. Visiting hours are Tuesdays to Fridays from 10:00 to 15:00 and 16:00 to 19:00, and Saturdays from 10:00 to 14:00. Sundays and holidays are closed. Admission details are not specified, but typically museum entry applies.
