Talia Chetrit
Bunny
Jun 6th – Aug 30th, 2026
Museo Lázaro Galdiano, Madrid
For her first institutional solo exhibition in Spain, photographer Talia Chetrit presents Bunny, a selection of works that moves playfully between portraiture, tableaux, and still life. The artist proposes a distinctive curatorial approach, placing past and present photographs in dialogue within a single visual sequence. These juxtapositions recode older images, creating simultaneity—both visual and semantic—between subjects and scenes that might otherwise feel distant.
Chetrit’s photographs seem to escape the limits of time and space, capturing human fascination and paradox in ways that sometimes recall classical painting. Rather than offering a straightforward depiction of her personal sphere, she employs exhibitionism and vulnerability as elements of theatrical staging. Her subjects—from family and friends to themes of parenthood and eroticism—are shown from multiple viewpoints, near and far, above and below. Her style is at once recognizable and elusive.
The exhibition’s title, Bunny, reflects the sensibility of her images: raw, seductive, and playfully performative. In her work, the line between truth and fiction remains open to negotiation between artist and viewer. Photography becomes both medium and object, highlighted as a material condition through which images are layered, extended, and transformed. The works vary in scale: intimate black-and-white prints invite close observation, while large-format color photographs assert a physical presence and engage the viewer’s body.
