Photo: Lucien Hervé, Mediterranean architecture in the Balearic Islands, 1959
In 1959, Hervé traveled around Spain with his camera and took pictures of Mediterranean houses and the monastery at El Escorial for two photobooks that were never published. However, Hervé continued with these projects and created narrative processes supported by rigorous historic research.
The exhibition presents for the first time these two unedited projects: “White Spain” and “Black Spain”. The exhibition — accompanied by field notes, contact sheets and books — presents a singular review of the visual archetypes of monumental Spain and evaluates the artistic, critical, and conceptual reach of the artist’s extraordinary photographic language.
Exhibition curated by Iñaki Bergera and Marco Iuliano
