Biography

Biographie

Both born in 1969 and living in Barcelona, Anna Cabrera et Angel Albarrán have been working together since 1996 and form a rising duo on the photographic scene. Together, they have developed a photographic universe where the poetic of the subject meets the beauty of the print. Experts in a wide range of photographic printing processes, Albarrán Cabrera see their photographs as objects in their own right. Thus, they personally handcraft their prints in their studio using a wide range of processes and materials, such as cyanotype emulsion, platinum-palladium, silver gelatin, among others. Their application of gold leaves under handmade Japanese paper give their photos a deep, mysterious glow, an enigmatic spectrum of light that reverberates through the image. Questioning concepts like identity, time, memories, their various open series evoke our relationship with time and memory and our perception of the photographic image between reality and illusion.

Tous deux nés en 1969 et basés à Barcelone, Anna Cabrera et Angel Albarrán travaillent ensemble depuis 1996 et forment un duo reconnu sur la scene photographique internationale. Ensemble, ils ont développé un univers artistique poétique et sensible où l’émotion du sujet se combine à la beauté du tirage. Spécialistes des techniques alternatives de tirage et de la conservation- restauration des photographies, Albarrán Cabrera considère ses photographies comme des objets à part entière. Les deux artistes recourent aux procédés anciens du cyanotype, du platine-palladium et d’autres procédés argentiques et inventent des procédés nouveaux qu’ils combinent à des matériaux rares comme des papiers japonais, des pigments et des minéraux ou de la feuille d’or. Réflexions sur l’identité, sur les traces que la prise de vue conserve du passé, leurs différentes séries ouvertes interrogent notre rapport au temps et à la mémoire, ainsi que notre perception de l’image photographique, entre le réel et l’illusion.
