Photographic Homage

Over the next two years, PHotoEspaña will celebrate its 20th anniversary through an expansive programme that looks back at the festival’s development since its establishment in 1998. The programme is an opportunity to take stock of the past and to take forward new ideas and investment that will lead to the festival’s consolidation both nationally and internationally.

Alternate Perceptions

Colour has long been a point of investigation for Hella Jongerius (b. 1963), whose designs reject traditional styles in favour of a bespoke and indefinite finish. Adopting an open-ended approach to research allows for the creation of products which value the act of process above a final, resolute form.
