Space río_ Mills Stables, the City of Murcia, along with its history of supporting the work of young artists from Murcia, produced a photo exhibition of Tatiana Abellán.
The opening will be Thursday, March 1, 2012, at 20 hours.
The artist presents 330 photos taken over several months in the island of Manhattan in New York City.
Tatiana, in response to a letter to the artist Elena del Rivero, described in the exhibition catalog his vision of the city:
"... Although my stay here was motivated by a theoretical research at the University of New York, I soon realized that one can not entirely abandon his artistic concerns when doing other things. So as an afterthought, away from any priority and almost unconsciously, I began taking pictures of my routine, everything around me. of the ordinary and the extraordinary. Without clear why or for what he did. It was nothing important. I guess you know the momentum of going out looking for a default image that already exists, although not material. Just try to realize something that you've written for different reasons in your mind and want to find. In these cases the symptom is built to some way it distorts reality and know what you need, you've seen before in your mind, and strength to get up to reality. But sometimes they are the images that appear and demand your attention. For casual small details, paradoxical, absurd, inexplicable. Are these images, in my opinion, those who hide some secret, some aspect difficult to decode, the most interesting. "
During those months of 2011 in the City of New York lived events, and historical, which have been reflected in the small photo equipment, including mobile, that Tatiana had in their pockets.
