In the gallery called 001. PhotoVision. Reflexión y debate en la creación fotográfica (PhotoVision. Reflection and debate in photographic creation) are presented works from the series Peluquería (Hairdresser’s) by the artist Ouka Leele. This section of the exhibition, Communicating Vessels, explores the 1980s in relation to photographic production. During this period, photography centres were set up in Spain to research, exhibit and disseminate national photography, as well as specialised magazines, biennials and events that allowed for debate and photographic creation.

Issue 86 of Umbigo magazine is out with a special issue on Connection/Disconnection. It includes a special article on Nephogram, Andrés Galeano’s project in the form of an application that calculates how many grams of CO2 an image emits when it is uploaded to a social network. When a photo is uploaded to Nephogram, it is automatically compressed, reducing its carbon footprint and impact.
