This retrospective, curated by Iván Ruiz (author of Docufricción), is a concentrated selection of his 20 years of experience; a way of knowing at once the evolution of this exceptional photographer. The exhibition ranges from the Subway series with black and white images taken during the 90s in the NY subway with a panoramic Hasselblad, to his more recent work, still in progress, entitled Free Architecture, which explores the phenomenon of contemporary construction of remittances and Mexican fantasy. Adam Wiseman has also carried out formal experiments with moving photography in works such as Tlatelolco denied and Moving Portraits, in which the camera records the succession of moments in time: what happens, what may be what passes through someone's face waiting in front of a camera, or a choreography of lights set in motion by the residents of the Chihuahua building in Tlatelolco. Or an attack on the Twin Towers of NY.

A special edition with images of the Subway Series in black and white printed by the artist in a recent residence in San Agustín Etla, Oaxaca, and a small print run of 20 copies of Tlatelolco denied in box-book format, from the publisher will be on sale. Troconi-Letayf.

Wiseman's work is rooted in the documentary tradition and ethnography (he studied film and ethnography at university, and later did a master's degree at the International Center of Photography in NY), but in its evolution it deviates from the conventions of these disciplines to develop a personal photographic language - which questions (or admits the impossibility of) the objective. His images leave room for ambiguity, active contemplation and conversation: they ask questions of the viewer.
