CAGOTS - Francisque MICHEL (1809-1887, historian, philologist, worked on a "Histoire des races maudites en France et en Espagne" (History of Cursed Races in France and Spain), thereby combating discrimination against Jews and cagots, the so-called descendants of cursed races (Goths, Cathars), the bearers of all evils and excessively stigmatized) / Autograph letter signed, 3 p in-8, Bordeaux, July 29, 1844, to his "dear Baron": he announces his imminent departure for Spain and the various stages he will make there, where he will be able to join him at correspondents' and discusses Claude-Charles Pierquin de Gembloux (1798-1863, physician and scholar, described as a "literary madman", author of a multitude of studies such as an encyclopedia of madness in animals and a marmoset glossary, in which he gives a translation of their language), "I gladly agree with the judgment you pass on Sieur Pierquin de Gembloux, he's a donkey who kicks at the superiorities he meets on his way, and I'll probably share in his insults some day, because in my book on cursed races, I quoted his opinion on the etymology of cagot, asking the reader's forgiveness for having inserted such buffoonery in a serious work".

MARIA ACHA-KUTSCHER ( Lima, Peru, 1968). Untitled. 2019. Series "Womankind". Pigmented inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta paper, 315 gr. With label from Taller Digigráfico de Madrid. Sizes: 41,5 x 30 cm; 62 x 50 cm (frame). As the artist herself explained in an interview in "Elemmental" about this series: "Womankind is an intertextual work, full of quotations from works of art, photography, film, literature and the memory of political struggle. In all the photographic collages of this project, women occupy a central place, not as objects of contemplation, but as protagonists of their own history. It is therefore crucial that the images are plausible, in order to construct a large archive of fictional documents". By combining archival images and collage, Acha-Kutscher claims an autonomous place for women, a place that was stolen from them. María Acha-Kutscher is a Peruvian feminist visual artist based in Spain. She is co-director with Tomás Ruiz-Rivas of the experimental project Antimuseo. She studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. After finishing her studies in 1991 she moved to Mexico City, where she worked as an art director in advertising agencies. This experience as a designer has been crucial for the realisation of her artistic-militant work. In 2001 she moved to Madrid and became involved in the alternative contemporary art scene through her partner Tomás Ruiz-Rivas. Her work vindicates and makes feminism visible. Since 2010, Acha-Kutscher has focused on three long-term projects: Womankind, Indignadas and Herstorymuseum. Womankind consists of several series of digital photographic collages, created from archival images, from the internet, magazines, books and photographs taken by the artist. Among her most recognised series is Indignadas, which belongs to the project for the recovery of women's historical memory, Mujeres Trabajando para Mujeres" (Women Working for Women). Her latest project is Herstorymuseum, an imaginary museum that, through its collection and a curatorial programme, develops a rhizomatic and non-hierarchical narrative of women creators of the 20th century. Its collections are made up of images based on a visual language close to the pictogram, in which only two spots of colour are used. The exhibitions are held in public spaces, art centres, galleries and also on its website. The exhibitions establish relationships between different women artists and works, thus developing a different narrative from the official art history.16 Herstorymuseum is a member of the International Association of Women's Museums (IAWM). Acha-Kutscher has shown her work at Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS), Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo (CA2M), Centro Gallego de Arte Contemporáneo (CGAC), La Virreina Centre de la Imatge, The Fed Galleries @ KCAD (USA), M.A.C.L.A.

"PACO PEREGRÍN"; PEREGRÍN, Francisco (Almería, 1976). "Alien Beauty (VI)". Model Naadia Kloet (Delphoss). Exemplar 1/10. Small Edition (limited to 10 copies + 1AP). Digital photography. Lambda print under methacrylate on dibond and aluminium frame. Enclosed certificate issued by the artist. Bibliography: "Otherworldly", Theo Mass Lexileictous and Editorial Gestalten, 2016 (Page 238); "Avenue Illustrated" Magazine, issue 19, Spain, 2009 (page 105); "Ozine Magazine", issue October-November 2009 (Page 199). Work signed and numbered. Size: 50 x 37 cm. In the present work, and inspired by the alien aesthetics, Paco Peregrín has created a beautiful, fashionable and "avant-garde" story between futurism and the extraterrestrial. It shows a personal and striking speculation on the evolution of identity and the transfiguration of human features. Paco Peregrín is an Andalusian photographer, currently considered one of the world's leading talents in artistic, editorial and advertising photography, always highlighting his experimental side in all his work, characterised by its strength and forcefulness. He trained in Seville, adopting a mystical sensibility of compositional schemes and chromaticism inspired by baroque art. It is possible that it was his theatrical experience that gave him the ability to direct his models in front of his camera, to develop his spatial perception and to show the body, presence and time in his work. He currently lives in Madrid, a detail that, together with his time in important cultural capitals (London, New York...) has added contemporaneity and freshness to his work, which is unique. It is also important to highlight his wide experience in design, communication, theatre and painting. He alternates fashion photography for magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar or L'Officiel with commercial work for brands such as Dior, Chanel, Saint Laurent, L'Oréal Paris, Adidas, Nike, Gant, Toyota, Lancôme, Shiseido... with signature photography, having exhibited his work in galleries in New York, Paris, Barcelona, Beijing, Madrid, Berlin, Seville, San Sebastián, etc., and in museums and galleries such as the Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial in Madrid, Barcelona, Beijing, Madrid, Berlin, Sevilla, San Sebastián, etc. and in museums and galleries such as the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo (Seville), Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla, Museo Cristóbal Balenciaga (Getaria, Gipuzkoa), Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona, Foro Sur, Sala de exp. del Canal de Isabel II, Museo Provincial de Cádiz, etc. His striking work has been recognised with awards such as the LUX Gold National Professional Photography Prize in Fashion and Beauty (2008). The publishing house Gestalten (specialised in art and architecture) has included him among the most important and original projects in the book "Otherworldly", and the publishing house Prestel published his work in "New Fashion Photography", where he is one of the most important references worldwide in contemporary fashion photography.
