Artworks exhibited are provided by Opera Gallery, Madrid.
20 Sept – 21 Oct 2025 At il Meccanico, Via San Vitale 2B
Away from the set, Almodóvar turns to photography to make a deeply pop gesture: transforming everyday objects — glasses, flowers, plates, utensils — into secular altars, filled with memory and desire.
These are not simple still lifes, but vida detenida: life held still, yet alive. Each object retains vitality, reacts to light, and changes over time.
There’s no post-production — the focus is on emotion, not perfection. As Almodóvar writes: “What interests me is the ecstasy of the moment, staying alert and capturing the emotion of the instant.”
A fragile, vibrant tension runs through every shot, where the beauty of the everyday becomes sacred.
Never consolatory.
