Minimal?! a new exhibition of works by a Spanish photo duo Anna & Daniel
It’s not a secret that Anna & Daniel, a Spanish minimalist photo duo is in great demand. Following their exhibition Happytecture in Calella, Spain, which was part of an annual photography festival FestImatge, they will be headed to Miami. We are expecting their fun images to be on view as part of an outdoor exhibition that is to take place along the Ocean Drive beach walk in Miami Beach this fall.
In the meantime, we are offering images from two of their most popular series What the Hat?! and Happytecture as part of a presentation entitled Minimal?! that will be accessible online as a 3D virtual presentation alongside a viewing room on Artsy platform. Minimal?! exhibition is definite proof that minimal is by no means boring. Quite the opposite! It is a lot of fun. Though Anna & Daniel’s artwork look simple but there is a lot work behind the final image.
This creative duo puts to use their architectural backgrounds to tell stories through fun and surprising images that are far from conventional architecture photography. Their particular style is characterized by their visual sense of humor, creativity, precision, and a delicate aesthetic inspired by the city, geometry, and minimalism. Their art is informed and inspired by their photo idols Chema Madoz and Rodney Smith.
By combining their spatial awareness and their artistic vision, primarily based on simple shapes and bold patterns, Anna & Daniel have succeeded in establishing magnetic and joyful narratives that smartly suggest both the nature of human relations and the fascination with the urban environment.
Although it may seem surprising or hard to believe, besides some basic image processing, Anna and Daniel create these surreal scenes without the use of photo editing software. Instead, they carefully set the scene in real life using all sorts of everyday objects, unexpected locations, and tons of natural light.
You can explore the works that are part of the exhibition in this online 3D virtual presentation. Download the catalog of the presentation here.
Minimal?! will be available through October, 2024
