RAÍÑA LUPA GALLERY is honoured to present a new exhibition feauturing photographs by the famous spanish fashion photographer Outumuro.  In this exhibition, Outumuro shows us 49 photographs taken from his book TEST, edited for this occassion  in a series of 10 samples each. Apart from this, the new edition will be accompanied by the book, also edited for the exhibition, which has 49 samples, all numbered and signed.

 

 

In many cases, there are images that result from luck and search, shot during the creative process of different photographic sessions with the only objective of obtaining the definitive picture. This small pieces which are dispossed of by the photographer after having a merely informative labour, were kept by Outumuro in an old box in his archive, titled TEST.  They are tool-images that served, among other things and in the analogic era, to control the exposition to the light and the intensity in the laboratory.

 

In some of the cases the paradox is given that the final photograph never overcame the magic and strength of some of this tests. Rescued with eagerness, edited in a careful barium printing on paper and hung in this exhibition, these photographs assume their own identity.
