Los adioses (The Farewells) is an artistic project that explores the poignant story of a couple who migrated from a rural village to the city in search of a better life. Through a multidisciplinary approach combining photography, text, and video art, the artist constructs a narrative that reflects on family roles, communication, and identity.
Los adioses (The Farewells) examines the emotional reality of a couple who left their village for the city, navigating the complexities of social roles and unmet expectations. The exhibition is deeply personal, stemming from the artist's own family experiences and the loss of loved ones, serving as a dialogue between the perspectives of the father, the mother, and the artist. By reconstructing and idealizing the figure of her father, the artist confronts themes of incomunicación and the search for identity. Originally conceived as a photobook published in 2022, the project is adapted here into an immersive exhibition format at the Ateneo de Málaga. Through carefully curated photographs, written texts, and video works, the artist invites viewers to explore the vulnerability and hidden tensions inherent in domestic life and historical migration experiences.
The exhibition is hosted at the Espacio Frank Rebajes within the Ateneo de Málaga. Visitors can find further details about access and membership on the official venue website.
