Topología de un contraste. Una lectura de Madrid a través de la fotografía (PHotoESPAÑA 2026)

The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo is hosting a group exhibition from 18 June to 21 February 2027 that offers the opportunity to view Madrid and its extraordinary transformation through photography. This display forms part of the PHotoESPAÑA 2026 photography festival.

The exhibition offers a plural and critical perspective on the city of Madrid through the MAC's photographic collection. Conceived as a group show, it brings together various artists and their works, such as Chema Prado; La Chute 44 by Ángel Marcos; La habitación de Luis by Alberto García-Alix; and Grande Terminal 3 by José Manuel Ballester. The works of these artists engage in a dialogue with one another to reveal the tensions, superpositions and contradictions that define Madrid's urban identity.

Rather than a historical journey, the exhibition proposes a topological reading: an emotional and visual map where metropolitan expansion, architectural memory, daily life and the intermediate spaces that often go unnoticed all coexist. Each work functions as a turning point from which to observe how the city transforms and how, at the same time, it transforms those who inhabit it.
