This exhibition contains over twenty important photographic works by Gory from 1985 to 1994. The work displayed encompasses a series with a marked conceptualist interest with texts by Michael Ende (It's Only Water in a Stranger's Tear) and poems by his wife Lucia Ballester and includes more orthodox photographs, with a marked conceptual closeness to documentary photography. All the works are linked by the same toned gelatin silver print technique that gives them a formal unity accentuated by the artist's unique vision.
