Schommer. The Living Museum

The second photography exhibition that took place at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum presented, during the summer months, a group of twenty works produced in the rooms of the Villahermosa Palace by Alberto Schommer. The images, in black and white as is usual in Schommer’s work, showed the artist’s personal view of the visitors to the Museum and of the works of art on display. The gaze and the work interrelate producing in turn a new and different work in which there is room for the play of light, for magic and for mystery. The show, which was exhibited in the central hall of the Museum, and which was free, was part of the first International Photography Festival, organised by PhotoEspaña, which took place in several cultural spaces around the Castellana area.
