Eugenio Recuenco
Somewhere between painting, cinema and theatre lies the world of Eugenio Recuenco (*1968), one of Spain’s most distinctive contemporary photographers. For more than 25 years the Madrid-born artist, a graduate in Fine Arts, has moved freely between photography, film and stage design. His work has been shown by institutions such as The Museum at FIT in New York, the Museo del Traje in Madrid and the Kunsthalle Rostock.
Every one of Recuenco’s photographs is a staged scene: built by hand, lit like an Old Master painting and charged with narrative. Rather than recording the world, he invents it. His images are full of symbols, irony and quiet unease, and they invite the viewer to read them like a story. This approach culminates in »365º«, a monumental project of 365 images, one for each day of the year, that forms a visual atlas of the human condition.
Eugenio Recuenco is represented exclusively worldwide by CAMERA WORK Gallery.
