Pía Elizondo and Mònica Roselló
Thursday 15 June, 7 pm. Virreina Lab
Free entrance. Seating is limited

Susan Sontag’s emblematic essay On Photography (1977) serves as the title and an invocation for this series of conversations between photographers who work in very different national and international contexts.

The idea is to relate different practices, as well as opposing positions and paradigms, but also complementary ones. We understand that in enunciating one’s work, there is a way of constructing the public sphere, a way of exposing one’s self and collectively determining the extent of the message, but especially its place in the community.

This second session of DIALOGUES ON PHOTOGRAPHY presents two artists, Pía Elizondo (México City, 1963) and Mònica Roselló (Tarragona, 1961), whose works have several things in common. They both focus on meaningful detail, highlight the transient and fleeting, use "poor" or alternative photographic technologies, and offer an essentially subjective discourse. The conversation will be guided by the projection of their works.

Pia Elizondo was born in Mexico City in 1963. He has exhibited his work in Mexico and Latin America, US and Europe. He lives in Paris where his work is distributed by VU agency and part of the acquisition of FNAC. In 2012, he obtained a master's degree from the ENSP (Arles). He is foreman at the ENSP Louis Lumière (Paris). Since 2013 he has published several art books.
