Ouka Leele, Colita and Pilar Aymerich participate in Constelaciones fotográficas. Pensar desde las imágenes , the first exhibition drawn from the collection of the Centro Nacional de Fotografía, on view at the Centro Niemeyer in Avilés from 2 October 2026 to 31 January 2027.
Curated by Mónica Carabias Álvaro, Director of the Centro Nacional de Fotografía, the exhibition brings together 102 works by 38 artists and offers a broad overview of some of the key figures, visual languages and trends that have shaped contemporary Spanish photography. For the first time, the project brings together in a single exhibition works by all the artists awarded the Premio Nacional de Fotografía to date, alongside Premio Velázquez de Artes Plásticas recipient Marisa González and a range of voices from more recent generations.
Within this wider survey, Ouka Leele, Colita and Pilar Aymerich hold a prominent place. They were awarded the Premio Nacional de Fotografía in 2005, 2014 and 2021, respectively. Their careers offer different ways of understanding the photographic medium while also reflecting some of the profound social, cultural and political transformations that have taken place in Spain over recent decades.
Constelaciones fotográficas. Pensar desde las imágenes thus approaches photography as a space for encounter, from which new relationships between past and present can be established. The diversity of the works on display reveals both the evolution of the medium and its capacity to record, question and transform the imaginaries of each era.
