History and its development continually demonstrate the infinite creative possibilities of photography. At one point, someone claimed that photography was dead, but it remains as alive as ever and continues to reinvent itself by combining the most primitive and the most innovative creative media. Photography constantly presents us with new challenges and invites us to push its boundaries. And the more we want to know, the greater the scope for experimentation.
Julio Álvarez Yagüe invites us to push those boundaries with his work through his lecture.

Julio Álvarez Yagüe
His career in fine art photography began as an extension of his professional activity in the field of aerial photography and later expanded to include advertising work for companies such as Telefónica and Amper. In the early 1980s, he became involved with various artistic collectives in Madrid, Catalonia and other parts of Spain, co-founding Grupo 28, later renamed Colectivo 28. He participated in national and international competitions, where he won numerous awards, and received grants for commissioned projects from institutions such as La Caixa, the Portuguese Tourist Office, the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife and the Rafael Botí Foundation. Since then, he has developed two parallel lines of work, one focused on photography and the other on research into the photogram-chemigram.
He has held more than 250 exhibitions in Spain and other countries, and his work forms part of important public and private collections, including the Reina Sofía Museum, the IVAM and the Joan Miró Foundation. In addition, he has carried out extensive work in teaching and promoting contemporary photography.
