Jorge Yeregui Examines Anthropocene Landscapes at Museo ICO
Museo ICO in Madrid opens 'Los mismos lugares', a solo exhibition by Santander-born artist Jorge Yeregui, as part of PHotoESPAÑA 2026. Curated by Juan Guardiola, the show runs from June 4 to September 6, 2026. Yeregui, an architect and photographer, uses photography, video, and installations to explore human impact on landscapes—mining, real estate speculation, water infrastructure, and greenwashing. Key series include 'Las montañas perfectas' (2021–2025) on León's Fabero mines, 'Acta de replanteo' (2013–2017) documenting abandoned urban plots, 'Trazar el agua' (2024) tracing Barcelona's Rec Comtal aqueduct, and 'Cotacero' on Cádiz bay. The exhibition also features a MACBA-commissioned project and ends with 'paisajes mínimos' critiquing nature as commodity.
