Artist Talk with Spanish Photographer Miguel Trillo
Sat 10 May 2014, 7.30 pm
Manzi Art Space
From Manzi:
The photographs by Miguel Trillo (Cádiz,Spain 1957) are partly generational documents and partly conceptual works on youth identity. His career has led him to portray the different urban tribes that have emerged in Spain since the eighties. Starting in a specific region of the country, Andalusia, where he photographed people close to him, Trillo’s oeuvre gradually acquired an international and timeless dimension as he continued to photograph the same recognisable groups of people over the next two decades all over the world. From Madrid’s counter-cultural “La Movida” of the eighties to the diversity of the nineties, his brazen frontal portraits reflect how globalisation and communications influence the development of the same features in territorial regions as disparate as the Arab Emirates,Morocco, the United States and Europe and more recently, Korea and Vietnam.
The opening for Miguel’s exhibition of photographs of Hanoi & Saigon from 2010 to 2014 will take place 6PM this Friday 09 May at Chula (43 Nhat Chieu). An artist talk and projection of his earlier work in the 80’s in Spain will take place 7.30 PM Saturday 10 May at manzi art space.
