Albarran Cabrera Windows to the Unexpected /anglais/espagnol

The meditative photographic experiments of the Spanish duo Albarrán Cabrera makes us witnesses to spontaneous revelations on time, nature, place and self Following their bestselling book, Remembering the Future (2019), the artist duo Albarrán Cabrera, consisting of Angel Albarrán (born 1969) and Anna Cabrera (born 1969), return with Windows to the Unexpected, the second volume in the trilogy highlighting their unconventional nature photography. Having worked together for over 20 years, the pair's harmony shines in their delicate renderings of Mother Earth's fine details, using a limited color palette and captivating framing to reveal the unexpected in the world around us. Inspired by Julio Cortázar's essay of the same name, this sequel challenges conventional notions of reality by asserting that "being conscious of our surroundings isn't just an important part of life—our surroundings and how we interpret them is life as we know it." Albarrán Cabrera are widely recognized for their mastery of various photo printing techniques—including platinum, palladium, cyanotype and gelatin silver processes—while pioneering and developing new techniques in their color prints, which incorporate pigments, Japanese paper and gold leaf. Their material, formal and narrative experiments endow Windows to the Unexpected with a sense of transcendence, highlighting the extraordinary within the ordinary.
