He also tries to make sure that, next time one of these voices returns, you will escape its grasp and thus chalk up another «point for the crazy ones» on the scoreboard.

THE MODERN MUSEUM: RETRACING OUR STEPS

Tenerife Arts Space

Until 9 April

This presentation from the collection is based on a series of images from the archive of Francisco Lora (c.1925-2000), which was bequeathed to CFIT-TEA on his death. The presentation focuses specifically on images from the late 1970s and early 1980s, immediately prior to the start of the major infrastructure and modernisation plans facilitated in part by European Union funding. Lora documents Santa Cruz, paying special attention to the San Andrés district between the development processes of the late Franco era and the challenging early years of democracy. For the most part, they are portraits of life both in the streets and in domestic settings.

The resolution of the images is so impressive that you can even see tiny details such as the paper fibres, a lithographer fingerprint and little holes caused by a moth.
