Madrid entre épocas

An exhibition of photomontages by Andrés Valentín Pérez Serén at the Museo de Historia de Madrid, which pairs old photographs of the city with its current appearance through rephotography.

The Museo de Historia de Madrid hosts this exhibition, which sets up a dialogue between old images of the city and its present-day appearance. The works are photomontages by Andrés Valentín Pérez Serén, made using the technique of rephotography: a historical scene is photographed again today from the original angle, and both shots are merged into a single composition.

The route through the galleries brings together a selection of these rephotographs, the result of research work and technical precision. The proposal rests on the idea that Madrid endures and, at the same time, changes without pause. Each work reveals which areas have survived the decades and which have permanently altered their appearance.

It is a visit designed for anyone curious about urban history and photography, and for those who want to compare the city of another era with today's. The exhibition works as a concentrated view of the Madrid streets by a single author, with the museum as its starting point.
