Seven Photographic Series

Awarded with the Golden Lion for the Best National Participation, the Spanish Pavilion, under the title ‘Unfinished’, has become one of the main features at the 15th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia, on view until November 2016. The photography installation has become one of the most iconic images of the show: the seven photographic series set up on seven parallel panels that hang from the ceiling invite to reflect on the economic crisis the country has suffered, helping to contextualize the works on display in the remaining halls of the pavilion.
