Curators: Valentín Vallhonrat and Ignacio Miguéliz

Rafael Levenfeld (1955–2023) began his first photographic series in 1976. His photographs established him as one of the young artists leading the renewal of photographic languages in Spain. He soon organized his work into performative series, which led to intervention and experimentation with pictorial techniques in photography. In 1980, together with Joan Fontcuberta, Ignacio González, and Adolfo Martínez, he founded the magazine PhotoViSion with the aim of providing a space for the dissemination of both Spanish and international photography from a critical perspective. Over the following decades, while continuing to develop his photographic series, his commitment to photography led him to curate numerous exhibitions for institutions such as the La Caixa Foundation, the National Art Museum of Catalonia, where he was an advisor, the Telefónica Foundation, the Reina Sofía National Museum, and the University of Navarra Photographic Collection - University of Navarra Museum, where he was artistic director until his death in November 2023. This exhibition brings together his early series, which brought him artistic and public recognition, and his unpublished work from the last three decades.
