P/CAS – Paris Contemporary Art Show #19

7 - 11 November 2019 

Jean-Marie Oger participates in P/CAS - Paris Contemporary Art Show #19 with a solo show of María Dávila focused on her works of the "Anónimo" series.

 

For this edition dedicated to photography and works on paper, the fair is held at Rivoli Building on the dates of Paris Photo.

 

The "Anónimo" series was first exhibited at Museo CajaGranada in 2017. These works are based on two different photographic sources : a family album from the 40s-60s and the photographic archives from the University of Granada, featuring some recognizable moments of a family life and some views of the university building. Through the connection between these documents out of their original context, María Dávila seeks to highlight their anonymous nature as well as their expressive power by questioning the so-called objectivity of the photographic picture. The play with the boundaries between reality and representation is used for disconcerting the constructed nature of our relationship to the visible from a re-reading that takes the viewer back to his interpretation and to his own image.
