Espentana

Grenade (Spain), 2018

«The distance between them is to be measured not in terms of the relative force or originality of their work, but in terms of their conceptions of what a photograph is: is it a mirror, reflecting a portrait of the artist who made it, or a window, through which one might better know the world?»

John Szarkowski, 1978 (Mirrors and windows: American photography since 1960, p. 25)


Espentana is an exhibition space, whose name comes from the union of the Spanish words "espejo" (mirror) and "ventana" (window)
