The exhibition What Remains Unseenisan exploration of the simultaneity of signs through the display of a combination of masterworks of contemporary photography and photographic records related to the telephone; it further features the reflections about the medium which semiotician Roland Barthes shared in his book Camera Lucida. One of the signs we explore focuses on the essence of portraits and the cityscape in the complex and sometimes difficult relationship between humans and today’s urban areas. In parallel, informed by the studium and punctum—elements that Barthes uses to order photographic material in his atlas—we examine a visual phenomenon that outlines a simultaneity of perception in terms of the subjective condition, everyday reality and the melancholy circumstance: not in the past, but emphatically in the present. | Guillermo Santamarina
