The meditative photographic experiments of the Spanish duo Albarrán Cabrera makes us witnesses to spontaneous revelations on time, nature, place and selfFollowing their bestselling book, Remembering the Future (2019), the artist duo Albarrán Cabrera, consisting of Angel Albarrán (born 1969) and Anna Cabrera (born 1969), return with Windows to the Unexpected, the second volume in the trilogy highlighting their unconventional nature photography. Having worked together for over 20 years, the pair's harmony shines in their delicate renderings of Mother Earth's fine details, using a limited color palette and captivating framing to reveal the unexpected in the world around us. Inspired by Julio Cortázar's essay of the same name, this sequel challenges conventional notions of reality by asserting that "being conscious of our surroundings isn't just an important part of life—our surroundings and how we interpret them is life as we know it."Albarrán Cabrera are widely recognized for their mastery of various photo printing techniques—including platinum, palladium, cyanotype and gelatin silver processes—while pioneering and developing new techniques in their color prints, which incorporate pigments, Japanese paper and gold leaf. Their material, formal and narrative experiments endow Windows to the Unexpected with a sense of transcendence, highlighting the extraordinary within the ordinary.

“Time moves in one direction, memory in another.We are that strange species that constructs artifacts intended to counter the natural flow of forgetting”. William GibsonWe are our memories.They define what and who we are and help us to understand our reality.When we remember, we do not simply recall a perfect representation of the past.A memory is not a snapshot or movie of our lives.We reconstruct our memories based on a set of things that happened, combined with what we perceived and imagined.What those perceptions are depends, in turn, on our past experiences, our knowledge, and our selves. Consequently, each time we recall an event, we change it.We construct a skeleton with the most important facts and fill in the gaps with our imaginations. So the memory recreated is not a perfect representation of the past event. Our memories are flawed but we do not even realize it.Thinking about the future is one of the main characteristics of being human. We plan ahead.We visualize the future: imagining what will happen and how we will react.Thinking about the past and future can seem like different activities, but when we think about the future, we do the same mental work as when we remember. We just remember a future that has not happened yet.These two activities, remembering the past and remembering the future, are deeply connected and never stop.We perform these activities throughout our lives, in a more or less conscious way, in order to define ourselves and to understand our world.
