Being aware of our surroundings is not just an important part of life, our surroundings and how we interpret them is life as we know it.

Galería Elvira González opens on May 29, 2025: Ventanas a lo insólito, Albarrán Cabrera’s second exhibition at the gallery. Anna Cabrera (Seville, 1969) and Ángel Albarrán (Barcelona, 1969) work as an artistic duo since 1996.

Ventanas a lo insólito is also the title of their upcoming book, which is inspired by the homonymous text by Julio Cortázar.

Every photograph is a challenge, an opening, a “perhaps”; the unusual awaits the visitor who knows how to make use of the keys, who does not accept what is proposed and prefers (…) to open doors that have been forbidden by habit and indifference.

(Excerpt from J. Cortázar, Papeles inesperados, 2009. Ed. Alfaguara)

Albarrán Cabrera’s work revolves around the relationship between image, perception and memory, exploring how photographs activate memories and subjective associations. More than a mere representation of reality, they conceive photography as a tool for sensorial and cognitive inquiry that questions the boundaries between the visible and the imagined.
