HANNAH COLLINS (United Kingdom, 1956). "Kitchen. La Laboral Gijón". 2006 Digital print on canvas. Diptych. With Joan Prats gallery stamp on the back. Provenance: Joan Prats Gallery. Barcelona. Measurements: 192 x 274 cm. This photograph was part of the solo exhibition "A future Life", held in 2006 at the Joan Prats gallery in Barcelona. Hannah Collins' photographic work is a reflection on the passage of time and the presence of the human trace in different environments. Her photographs of interior spaces reveal an implicit, latent social history. For the artist, fleeting glimpses of cities do not provide a full understanding of their existence. Far from the documentary character, her scenes consciously mix that reality with a fiction that gives them a new meaning. The dreary, institutional "Kitchen" shown in this photograph is part of the artist's research on migrant lives and memory. It is worth linking it to a later series she would present at LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial in Gijón (2017), entitled "The Fragile Feast", which focused on kitchen photography, and opened a dialogue between culinary art and photographic art. A British artist and filmmaker, Hannah Collins studied at the Slade School of Fine Arts in London, and later extended her training in the United States thanks to a Fullbright scholarship (1978-79). Throughout her career she has held important solo exhibitions in leading art galleries and art centers in Europe and America, and has participated in group exhibitions held at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (1987, 1989, 1989, 1989). Albert Museum in London (1987, 1989, 1989, 1995, 2002), the Centre National des Arts Plastiques in Paris (1989), the Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto (1990), the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona (1992, 1998), the Museo Español de Arte Moderno in Madrid (1994, 2008), the Saatchi Gallery in London (1994), the Helga de Alvear Gallery in Madrid (1999), the Tate Modern in London (2000), the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris (2006) and the Kulturhaus in Vienna (2011), among others. Based between London and Barcelona, in 1993 she was nominated for the Turner Prize, in 1991 she won the European Photography Award and in 2004 the Olympus Award. She is currently represented at the Tate Modern in London, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the MNCA Reina Sofía in Madrid, the MACBA in Barcelona and other public and private collections in Europe and America.

YASUMASA MORIMURA (Osaka, 1951). "Doublonage". Photograph, copy 1/10. Signed and titled on the back. Size: 102 x 81 cm. In "Doublonage", Morimura pays homage to Paul Outerbridge, one of the masters of colour photography who made his mark in New York in the 1930s. Specifically, the Japanese artist bases his work on "Ide necklace", Outerbridge's first advertising commission, which was published in Vanity Fair magazine the year after it was made, although with slight nuances with respect to the original: Morimura dispenses with the letters and labels on the object, thus stripping it of the indications that help to contextualise it. Outerbridge's photograph is kept in important international museums, such as the Met and MoMA in New York. Morimura is a Japanese appropriationist artist. He was born in Osaka and graduated from Kyoto City University of the Arts in 1978. Since 1985, he has shown his work mainly in solo exhibitions internationally, although he has participated in several group exhibitions. Morimura takes images of historical artists (from Édouard Manet to Rembrandt and Cindy Sherman), and inserts his own face and body into them. He even disguises himself as the main subjects that appear in the artworks he appropriated - many of which go against his racial, ethnic and gender boundaries as an Asian man, because most of the artworks he appropriates have Western subjects, particularly female subjects. He also inserted himself into some of the Western male subjects, and most of those works deal mainly with race and ethnicity. Through the use of disguises, he overrides the effects of the male gaze, gender, race, ethnicity and cultural standards, challenging traditional methods of portraiture that alters the original Western artworks by incorporating details related to Japanese culture. For example, in one of his works, Portrait (Futago), he changes the floral shawl of the original artwork, Olympia by Manet, with a kimono decorated with cranes. His works have been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago (1992), the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art in Jouy-en-Josas, France (1993), the Hara Museum of Art in Tokyo (1994), the Guggenheim Museum. Museum (1994), the Yokohama Museum of Art in Yokohama, Japan (1996), the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego (2006), and the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney (2007), among others, and his work is now owned by the Carnegie Museum of Art (Pittsburgh), the Honolulu Museum of Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the Hara Museum of Art in Tokyo (1994), the Hara Museum of Art in Tokyo (1994), and the Hara Museum of Art in Tokyo (1994). Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York) are among the public collections that hold works by Morimura.
