Pablo Genovés returns with a photo exhibition on the value of objects

Spanish artist Pablo Genovés has returned with a new photography exhibition at Galería Fernández-Braso in Madrid.

Called “Después de los días,” the show brings together images featuring objects he has collected after they were forgotten or discarded.

The work reflects on how objects have lost sentimental value as a culture of buying and throwing things away has grown.

Genovés says he was away from public view for six years while dealing with practical matters for his father, artist Juan Genovés, and during the pandemic he felt unable to speak.

He wants the images to invite quiet and reflection, rather than give viewers a fixed meaning.

He also sees the show as a response to a time when the boundaries between art, museums, criticism and the market have become blurred.

Visitors can encounter the work at the Madrid gallery, where Genovés hopes they will find their own meaning in the images.

Before, you didn’t throw away a sweater with holes; today everything is plastic.

I would like the images to move towards that.

I spent six years in silence — at least, as far as the public was concerned.
