Curated by Irene Gelfman

The Special Project of Pinta BAphoto, curated by Irene Gelfman, presents Cuatro piezas clave (Four Key Pieces), an installation by Cecilia Lenardón that pushes the boundaries of the photographic image, bringing it closer to the idea of a living, mutable, and exhaustible thing. Lenardón explores a vitality that arises from constant transformation, far from any fixity, challenging the traditional concept of the image to open new perceptual horizons.
