Post Production Life - Vanguardia Bilbao

This exhibiton features the work of Alfonso Batalla. It is focused on architecture, devoid of the human element, in the phase of construction or decadence. After a few years devoted basically to disused industrial spaces, his work has recently become more intimate, minimalist and conceptual, focused on more urban spaces.

His latest production "Prefabricated life" includes prefabricated rooms in the Ukranian city of Pripyat abandoned since it was evacuated, on the afternoon of April 27, 1986, the day after the Chernobyl disaster.

With a certain influence of the School of Dusseldorf and the photography of "pure record" Batalla's work focuses on the ambiguity of the language itself.
