The British photographer Adam Fuss stated in the Fundación Mapfre his first retrospective in Spain

Madrid – The splash that produces a drop of water falling, the movements of snakes in a tissue or how it bends the stem of a sunflower, make up most of the striking images of Adam Fuss (London, 1961). Are fifty images that make up the first retrospective in Spain of this unique artist whose work can be seen in the Madrid headquarters of the Fundación Mapfre until 27 April.

With nature as a pretext, Fuss talks about such essential topics as birth, love and death. And to talk about it either uses the daguerreotype and the latest digital photography techniques. The sample includes the basics of the artist, dating from 1986. They are hung as Love series (1992-1993), My Ghost (2000) or submitting(2010).

Convinced that a work is not finished until it’s impossible not to look, Fuss spoke yesterday said that the use of basic techniques of their craft, like the daguerreotype, it is the rejection of new proposals. Understand that what he is to break the barriers of conventional photography to enrich their work with contributions of the pioneers of photography.

The result is a dazzling tour of images that seem to speak of other worlds where the issues are tightly attached to the land.
