The American photographer presents her first institutional solo exhibition in Spain at Museo Lázaro Galdiano, as part of PHotoESPAÑA and in collaboration with Fundación Loewe.
Talia Chetrit has spent more than two decades questioning how images are staged, read and remembered. That tension now takes centre stage in ‘Bunny’, her first institutional solo exhibition in Spain.
Running until 30 August at Madrid’s Museo Lázaro Galdiano, the exhibition is included in PHotoESPAÑA and organised in collaboration with Fundación Loewe. Curated by Stella Bottai, it brings together works from different moments of Chetrit’s career, placing recent photographs alongside earlier images to create new connections beyond chronology.
Portraits, still lifes and staged scenes coexist throughout the show. Family, friends, self-portraits and everyday objects appear not as simple records, but as images charged with performance, vulnerability, desire and humour. In Chetrit’s work, looking is never neutral: the camera becomes a space where intimacy and fiction constantly overlap.
The title ‘Bunny’ reflects that shifting quality. Small black-and-white prints invite close observation, while large-scale colour photographs bring a physical presence into the room. Rather than offering a fixed reading, the exhibition leaves truth and fiction open to negotiation between artist and viewer.
