Publisher's Description
Box set of three books.
Cristina de Middel (Alicante, 1975) presents in Tabacalera an exhibition that brings together three photographic projects under the title Preparados, Listos, Archivo. The artist, National Photography Prize 2017, reflects on the dual nature of photography, as is usual in her work: on the one hand as a documentary tool, and on the other, as an instrument for the narration of fictions. The Jan Mayen, Cucurrucucú and Aleatoris Vulgaris photographic series offer both the photographer's original work and the result of her appropriation and investigation of different social realities. Cristina de Middel takes the photographic archive as a starting point for these projects, inviting us to explore three ideas: the North Pole, the culture of violence in Mexico and the impossibility of the random.
