Pedro Almodóvar's Photography Exhibition 'Vida Detenida' Opens at Marlborough Madrid

Pedro Almodóvar, the acclaimed Spanish filmmaker and two-time Oscar winner, has opened a photography exhibition titled 'Vida Detenida' at the Marlborough Art Gallery in Madrid, as part of the PHotoEspaña festival. The show features still-life photographs taken by Almodóvar during the production of his latest film 'Dolor y gloria'. The images depict fruit, plants, and decorative elements from his home, reflecting his interest in calm amidst chaos and paying homage to artists like Zurbarán, Morandi, and Ettore Sottsass. This is Almodóvar's second solo photography exhibition. In an interview with El País, he described photography as an 'anxiolytic' to combat depression, a topic he hopes to raise awareness about. The exhibition runs until September 7, 2018.
