American photographer Talia Chetrit presents her first solo exhibition in Spain, titled Bunny, at the Lázaro Galdiano Museum in Madrid. The show, included in PHotoESPAÑA 2026 and open until August 30, brings together twenty works that explore identity, sexuality, and the creative process through portraits and still lifes. Free admission allows the public to engage with a provocative and contemporary proposal.
Photographic technique as a tool for visual deconstruction 📸
Chetrit uses a medium format camera and analog film to capture textures and shadows with a sharpness that challenges digital immediacy. Her process avoids excessive retouching, prioritizing direct composition and natural light. The images play with fragmented framing and everyday objects, creating a tension between what is shown and what is hidden. This technical approach allows the viewer to confront the image without narrative filters, focusing on the materiality of the body and the object.
Bunny and the dilemma of having no Instagram filter 🐰
Seeing analog photos today is like finding a fax in your mail: it forces you to stop and wonder if you really need to see someone's pores so clearly. The exhibition Bunny reminds us that, before ring light selfies, there was already the existential anguish of posing for a camera. If you leave there wanting to delete your filter history, the artist will have fulfilled her mission. Or maybe you just need a roll of 35 mm film and a bit of therapy.
