Topología de un contraste. Una lectura de Madrid a través de la fotografía (PHotoESPAÑA 2026)

The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo presents this photographic show, part of the PHotoESPAÑA festival, to explore the urban and social transformation of Madrid.

The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo hosts a group exhibition that invites visitors to look at the capital through a selection of images drawn from its own collection. The proposal brings together works by artists such as Chema Prado, Ángel Marcos, Alberto García-Alix and José Manuel Ballester, whose pieces create a dialogue centred on the contradictions, overlaps and tensions that shape today's urban territory.

The display dispenses with a linear chronology in favour of a topological and critical perspective. The galleries present a visual map where architectural memory, the expansion of the metropolis, everyday city life and those peripheral corners that tend to go unnoticed come together. The visit is designed both for those who follow contemporary creation and for anyone interested in understanding the changes in the urban environment through the eyes of several authors.

This cultural initiative can be visited during its run at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, a space in Madrid devoted to the study and dissemination of contemporary art. The route through the exhibition invites visitors to pause at each work and consider how the inhabited spaces shape everyday life and the identity of their inhabitants.
