2018Artiste invité

Almudena Romero uses 19th century photographic techniques to photograph migrants and encourage the reflection on the connection between photography, colonialism and migration, while permanently questioning the history of photography as a medium. To do this, the photographer has invited London residents who would see themselves as immigrants to come to her studio and participate in the series.
