La Seda Rota, 2005
La “Seda Rota” brings together photographs of the home of the Madrazo family, a dynasty, now died out, of 19th and 20th century Madrid painters. In a dialog with the writings of his friend and author Andrés Trapiello, Juan Manuel Castro Prieto translates the strange, even oppressive, atmosphere pervading these places as in frozen in an uncertain time and haunted by the memory of its inhabitants. Between presence and absence, the accumulation of painted portraits and photographs emphasize the fate of this family, with the posthumously painted portrait of their last child symbolizing their end.
