This issue of La Fábrica's PHotoBolsillo series chronicles the work of award-winning Spanish documentary photographer Cristina de Middel (born 1975). De Middel is internationally known for The Afronauts, a self-published photobook that investigates the short-lived Zambian space program started in 1964.

The author was a businessman, photographer, patron of arts and first president of Fundacio Joan Miro in Barcelona. For over five decades his photographic output was prodigious and had close links with currents of the time. This book shows the photographer's output from 1922 to 1939, a period in which he produced innovative, pioneering work.

Barlow's final works in dialogue with Eduardo Chillida's house and museumThis publication documents the exhibition of the work of acclaimed British sculptor Phyllida Barlow (1944‿2023) at the Chillida Leku Museum in Spain. Many of the works were created specifically for this space and in dialogue with those of Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida in the 17th-century Zabalaga farmhouse on the museum grounds. As El País reports, “While Chillida‿s sculptures represent all that is solid and stable, Barlow‿s work[s]‿many of which are imposing structures‿[are] marked by fragility and uncertainty. The large tower standing in the village center looks like an unstable skeleton, while other seemingly solid pieces are supported by hollow pedestals. The artworks culminate in their own indeterminacy, unabashedly displaying the scars of their creation.â€?Barlow‿s works continually expand the limits of the sculptural medium, leading us on a journey that turns space into a theatrical stage on which the spectator and the objects are the protagonists.

"Before Mexican sculptor Damiâan Ortega (born 1967) rose to prominence in the contemporary art world, he was a political cartoonist. This transition was intuitive for Ortega, and his sculptures and installations maintain the piercing, satirical eye required of his former occupation. He is internationally admired for his sculptures that literally deconstruct and reconfigure commercial products such as Coke bottles or, in one of his most celebrated works, a Volkswagen Beetle. Ortega presents these vernacular objects in precise arrangements that cohere into witty representations of diagrams, faces, words and buildings. Many of these pieces, however, are suspended in the air; by virtue of the space between the objects, the resulting representations appear fragmented. This catalog, published alongside the exhibition at Centro Botâin, exclusively displays these suspended works."

An affordable primer on the brief but influential career of an early 20th-century avant-garde photographer and revolutionaryItalian-born photographer, model, actor and political activist Tina Modotti is the subject of the first installment of La Fabrica's Essentials, a new series of monographs dedicated to the most fundamental names in photography. Modotti's highly influential career in photography took place entirely during her years living in Mexico, from 1923 to 1930, during which time she was deeply entrenched in Mexico City's avant-garde scene and produced a total of just over 400 black-and-white photographs. Before developing her own practice, Modotti was Edward Weston's favorite model, then lover, darkroom assistant and ultimately, creative partner. She was also close with iconic artists such as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, for whom she photographed many public murals. Her oeuvre, spanning portraiture to photojournalism, fuses the aesthetics of Mexican revolutionary culture and avant-garde photography aesthetics, to which she added the ideals of equality proposed by socialism and her keen political commitment.Tina Modotti (1896-1942) was born in Udine, Italy and immigrated with her family at the age of 16 to California, where she worked as an artists' model and an actress. In 1922 she moved to Mexico City where she became heavily involved with the communist party, working for the newspaper El Machete, and later founding the Liga Antifascista de México. In 1930 she was exiled and lived as a political refugee throughout Europe and in Moscow before returning to Mexico under a pseudonym in 1939, where she remained until her early death in 1942.
