Prosopagnosia (memory pathology to remember faces) is a project departing from a historial photo archive from a Spanish local newspaper active in the 30ΓÇÖs, devoted to public personalities of the time.This collection of faces is the input for a G.A.N. (Generative Adversatorial Network) algorithm which develops a machine learning process to generate new faces out of the archive portraits (although it could apply it to any kind of archive).The result is a new collection of photorealistic images of non existing persons. The final pictures are convincingly photographic but the focus is mainly set on the wonderful sequence of failed attempts that review important steps in art history: Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, Picasso, Bacon, Abstraction and so on..

The little-known color photography of Manuel Álvarez Bravo, presented in a beautiful cloth binding with a tipped-on cover imageOne of Time Magazine's best photo book of 2019 Manuel Álvarez Bravo produced around 3,000 images in color over the course of his career, though he has tended to be better known for his black-and-white photography. In Color presents more than 80 of his most significant color photographs, many of them published for the first time. A broad spectrum of subject matter is presented in this volume, including photographs of a piece with his familiar style and themes--Mexican culture, street life and countryside, formal portraits, nudes--as well as his little-known color experiments. These works in color greatly expand our understanding of his scope and abilities. A key figure in 20th-century Latin American photography, Manuel Álvarez Bravo (1902-2002) was born in Mexico. Self-taught as a photographer, and influenced by avant-garde photography and (later) the Mexican muralist movement, he developed a very personal style that is now seen as marking the beginning of a true Mexican photography.

Yvonne Venegas explores the rules and accidents of weeding photography, probably the social use of intimate photography most simbolically charged.Special Days is the result of the rescue of images from the archive of Venegas Fotografía Fina, a photography studio that her father, José Luis, established in Tijuana, Baja California, in 1972. The younger photographer thus reveals the routines that came to define the iconography of the emergent middle class who lived in this border city in the 1970s and ’80s, appropriating a set of images that, by breaking the photographer’s social contract with his subjects, offer us a fleeting, fragmentary viewpoint.

An exquisitely produced survey of Eamonn Doyle's searing, strange views of Dublin's streets This volume looks at the recent work and the meteoric rise within the photography world of the Irish photographer Eamonn Doyle (born 1969). An established electronic music producer in his hometown of Dublin, Doyle returned to photography after a 20-year break and produced the Dublin trilogy, a series of instant photobook classics: i (2014), described by Martin Parr as "the best street photo book in a decade," ON (2015) and End. (2016). Doyle's newest body of work, K, is his most mysterious and personal. Titled after the Irish tradition of keening, a vocal lamentation for the dead, the series was born partly out of personal loss, and features spectral figures set against dramatic natural landscapes. Eamonn Doyle features selections from each of the photographer's major recent series, a group of early dark room prints and works from Made in Dublin (2019), a collaborative book project Doyle undertook with writer Kevin Barry.

El Tío Sam con las manos cortadas; la cabeza de la Estatua de la Libertad atravesada por una bayoneta; un basurero decorado con las barras y estrellas: estas son algunas de las llamativas imágenes con las que la propaganda cubana ha representado a Estados Unidos durante el último medio siglo y más. Desde la llegada al poder de Fidel Castro, cientos de vallas publicitarias y carteles han aludido al enemigo de la revolución: el gobierno de Estados Unidos con su poderío militar y la CIA a su servicio. Mi Tío no se llama Sam reúne por primera vez una selección de estos trabajos, la mayoría de los cuales nunca antes habían sido publicados en forma de libro. Ofrece un recorrido por las imágenes que la propaganda cubana ha utilizado para hacer referencia a distintos temas y episodios que han marcado las relaciones cubano-estadounidenses desde 1959. Uncle Sam with his hands cut off; the head of the Statue of Liberty impaled on a bayonet; a trash can decorated with the Stars and Stripes: these are some of the striking images with which Cuban propaganda has represented the United States over the past half-century and more. Ever since Fidel Castro came to power, hundreds of billboards and posters have alluded to the enemy of the revolution: the US government, with its military might and the CIA at its service. Sam Is Not My Uncle gathers for the first time a selection of these works, most of which have never before been published in book form. It offers an overview of the images that Cuban propaganda has used to reference different issues and episodes that have marked US-Cuban relations since 1959.
