The Museo Universidad de Navarra presents "Possible Constellations. The image as a fragment of reality in the MUN collection".

How does photography communicate with reality? What and how many different points of view does it offer us? Is what it shows only a part of what exists? Possible Constellations. The image as a fragment of reality in the MUN Collection appeals to us to raise this subject of questions through photographic images, highlighting the infinity of possible points of view before the works.

It is a collective exhibition , and has been curated by four graduates of the V promotion of Master's Degree in programs of study Curatorial Museum of the University of Navarra: Soledad Paszkiewicz, Pilar Romero, Valvanera Cejudo and Marian Boadas. The curators will offer a masterclass today, Thursday 20, at 19h., whose capacity is already full. At 20h., will follow the opening of the sample, with entrance free. It will be open until August 25.

The curators have presented today to the media the exhibition, culmination of their work of Fin de Fin de Master's Degree (TFM), which was selected among the works of their promotion to occupy the walls of the Museum.

The director of Master's Degree, Nieves Acedo, has pointed out that every year the exhibition produced from the TFM of a group of students sample "the sense and the opportunity to study this Master's Degree in the context of a Museum that shows its university character in the effort put -through its professionals, its spaces, its resources- in giving future curators the best training and the best opportunities".

About Constelaciones posibles, the professor highlighted the challenge that it meant for the curators "to find a possible and pertinent narrative in the MUN Collection itself", which was chosen as topic of the TFM to join the initiatives that are being prepared for the celebration of the Museum's tenth anniversary, which will take place next year. "Tackling a collection of 23,000 photographs and almost 250,000 negatives, with no restrictions other than the measurements of the conference room and a delimited budget , is challenging for any experienced curator," she says, "but the students were not discouraged by the difficulties and worked their way up to the stupendous proposal that we are going to be able to contemplate.

José Ortiz Echagüe, Daniel Canogar, Ouka Lee, Joan Fontcuberta, María Bleda and José María Rosa, or Roland Fischer are some of the artists who signed the selected works. Belonging to the MUN Collection, the more than one hundred works represent a wide variety of periods (from the 19th century to the present), trends (pictorialism, new objectivity, intimist photography...) and techniques (such as blue charcoal or inkjet on felt), and are grouped into four areas according to their subject matter: flowers, portraits, the Alhambra and the mountains.

Thus, these constellations allow the viewer to build relationships of similarity and contrast, and invite us to reflect on the images as the product of a construction, bringing to the forefront the convoluted relationship between reality and fiction in the photographic medium. The result is a exhibition that raises the need to understand how photography is constructed in a world saturated with images, increasingly immersed in the digital and with more possibilities and speed of production.

In addition, the curators wanted to accompany the viewer on a journey through this constellation with the creation of two sound itineraries: one historical and the other literary, which can be accessed through a QR code or directly through the web.

Possible Constellations. La imagen como fragmento de la realidad en la Colección MUN is a exhibition funded by the Fundación Pablo Palazuelo.
