The XXII edition of PHotoESPAÑA will open on June 5 and can be seen until September 1, featuring 85 exhibitions and the participation of 296 authors.

Under the slogan Our algorithm is judgement, PHotoESPAÑA in collaboration with the agency *S,C,P,F..., launch a campaign referencing the algorithms of social networks and their arbitrary selection of images. In opposition to this, the exhibition highlights the value of artistic photography in the face of "selfies in the mirror, couples holding hands and the trendy singer".
Do you like those pictures of people pretending they don't know they're having their picture taken? No? Well, the algorithm does. 

This is one of the maxims collected in the spot by the agency *S,C,P,F... which once again collaborates with PHotoESPAÑA with a campaign that claims judgement against arbitrariness in a world saturated with images.

Susan Bright, guest curator, proposes a programme of five exhibitions under the title Déjà vu? which brings together Elina Brotherus, Clare Strand, Laura Letinsky, Sharon Core, Patrick Pound, and Délio Jasse in proposals that take the traditions and ideas of the past to create  new and contextualised work today.

Along with this proposal, the festival's official section will include a look at collecting from the Lafuente Archive and the collection for love at l´art. Bombas Gens; visits from international masters of photography such as William Klein, Berenice Abbott and Donna Ferrato; proposals from visual artists such as Kimsooja or Dario Villalba; and proposals from Spanish photographers such as Javier Vallhonrat, Paula Anta or Eduardo Nave.

The Royal Botanical Gardens, one of the main venues of the festival, will host the official opening of the festival on 5 June with exhibitions of Javier Vallhonrat's La sombra incisa (The Incise Shadow) and a group exhibition that brings together the works of the winners and finalists of the Fundación ENAIRE 2019 Photography Prize.
