Laia Abril (Spain, 1986) uses photography, archival material and multimedia to create projects that engage with feminist issues and are marked by sociological, historical and anthropological considerations. Her long-term projects are organised into chapters. The artist presents Photo Elysée with her latest research, “On Mass Hysteria”, a first draft of which led to Abril’s nomination for the Prix Elysée 2019.

Mass hysteria is a reaction to circumstances in which women are subjected to extreme stress, feel repressed or forced into situations where they cannot communicate or express their thoughts or emotions. “On Mass Hysteria” allows us to visualise this language of pain in female representation throughout history.

mudac reveals the treasures of its collection in a dedicated exhibition that offers a surprising and quirky exploration of the diversity of the museum’s collection from design to contemporary applied arts.

Debi Cornwall (United States, 1973), winner of the Prix Elysée 2023, one of the most prestigious photography prizes in the world, presents “Model Citizens”. In this series, which is still in progress, she explores how staging, performance and role-playing feed into the idea of citizenship in our Western societies. The photographic medium becomes here a tool for political analysis.

mudac presents Space is the place, a programme that focuses on the complex relationship between the cosmos and our planet. Bringing together the work of designers, artists and science fiction writers, as well as a wide range of stakeholders in these issues, the programme includes two exhibitions, three publications and a series of events.
