For its 9th participation in PHotoESPAÑA, the LOEWE Foundation is excited to shine a light on a French artist who, in addition to making a name for himself as a writer in intellectual circles of Paris of the 1980s, left behind an important photographic oeuvre after his death in 1991 at the age of 36: Hervé Guibert. By highlighting the work of an artist who put his life in the service of a greater social cause, the LOEWE Foundation would like to help create consciousness around instances of intolerance and marginalization that persist around the world today, along with the danger of losing hard-won liberties, which is more present than ever even in advanced societies. All 50 images in the exhibit are prints authorised by the artist’s estate on loan from la Maison Européenne de la Photographie.
