Born in Spain in 1958, Madoz is one of contemporary photography's most personal and innovative artists. His work, influenced by surrealism and visual poetry, composes a complex magic universe where objects are never what they seem, or seem to be what they aren't. Madoz brilliantly plays with the perception of those who view his images and explores beyond reality. This book tells the story of Chema Madoz through the reproduction of more than 300 photographs within its 450 pages. Page by page, three decades of creation are covered and the artist's inner world is revealed. His life and works are discovered thanks to essays by Duane Michals, Oliva María Rubio, Estrella de Diego and Christian Caujolle as well as an extensive and detailed illustrated timeline. Chema Madoz: a tour de force. This book takes you on a trip through the universe of Chema Madoz. This is the first full review of the work of one of the most evocative contemporary photographers as well as an exhaustive analysis of more than three hundred of his images ranging from his first photographs to the present day. In photographs by Madoz, objects change, blend, or seem to float or belong to places out of time and reality. Photography becomes a way to create language or poetry based on fragile familiar yet surprising images. His evocative shots alter our perception and viewers find multiple meanings within them.
