Nicolás Combarro (A Coruña, 1979) fits into a new spectrum of artists who work with photography. His work focuses on architecture and the concept of construction in coexistence with and feeding into the practice of documentation and intervention, the latter being understood as taking action on space and the landscape.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION
The close relationship between art and architecture throughout the 20th century has converted the idea of ‘construction’ into an essential key to understanding our relationship with space, landscape and the home, but above all with the practical experience of the artistic object.
The actual creative act arises from what we can define as a constructive impulse. The idea of construction is linked to architecture, but also closely to sculpture, painting and drawing, as well as to a certain conception of the object as a design, and in particular to installation.

CARLOS GARAICOA: EL PALACIO DE LAS TRES HISTORIAS
Carlos Garaicoa (Havana, 1967) observes cities, architectures and unrealised dreams—some already forgotten and others still within reach. He interprets their story lines, their grievances and indelible memories and then, with a tireless creativity, he outlines different perspectives, grafting past and present. He draws new vanishing points, seeking out commonplace things and crowds as subjects of an incessant process of transformation into something else.
