Description: The hundred and fifty or so pictures that make up this retrospective of the work of Alberto Garcia-Alix (Leon, 1956) illustrate one of the most outstanding careers om the past quarter-century of Spanish photography. His artistic experience unfolds in a sort of poetic narration: that of his own private journey into the depths of the night. His ongoing autobiographical endeavour has driven him to document the chronicle of his time through a set of portraits which often include his own. Three different approaches can be discerned in his vast production. The initial period (1975-1982), to which most of his 35mm. work belongs; the eighties, which evidence the mature style of a sophisticated composer of frames; and the recent nineties, which witness a shift towards an increasingly cold, bare and essential perspective. Projects that reflect the multifaceted and heterodox nature of an artist whose oeurve rooted in the most classical tradition of black and white photography.
