Publisher's Synopsis
"Elegies" is a retrospective body of work bringing together a varied sample of the career of the artist Jorge Fuembuena, winner of the X edition of the Pilar Citoler International Prize for Contemporary Photography. The passage of time, death, innocence, the divine... there are many themes that intertwine in this body of work displayed and published by the University of Córdoba and Editorial RM. The exhibition and its catalogue are both planned as an experience; a visual game that the artist and curator Alejandro Castellote have been working on for some time. Jorge Fuembuena (Zaragoza, 1979), lives and works in Madrid. His work has received many awards such as the Pilar Citoler International Biennial Award for Contemporary Photography 2019, the Enaire Foundation award 2019, the IPA 2012 Competition (Lucie Foundation, NYC), the Caja Madrid Generations award 2011, the International Festival of Visual Arts Emergent 2010, the OCEMX Award 2011 (Mexico City), Gold Medal at the PX3 Prix 2012 (Paris, France) ARCO 2010 Photo Reportage Award and the Santa Isabel Portugal Photography Award 2008.
