TALENT-
LATENT

International Festival of Photography

16th October – 21st December 2014
Espai Tabacalera, M2 – Tarragona
Curator: Jesús Micó


Talent Latent 2014 shows the work of ten artists who represent some of the emerging values of international contemporary photographic creation. Selected after having reviewed the work of hundreds of artists, these ten photographers offer us an interesting panorama of some of the main stylistic lines and thematic areas in which this creation moves. From different parts of the world (the United States, Belgium, Mexico, Germany, India, China, South Korea and Argentina, as well as Spain), they have created projects with an outstanding personal stamp and authorship. There can be no doubt that these projects merit being presented and championed by SCAN Tarragona 2014, a festival whose main idea is to distinguish and promote the photography of new, highly talented, international artists.

Selection Artists

Iñaki Bergera, Anne Berry, Albert Bonsfills, Pablo Castilla, David Catá, Caleb Cole, Rodrigo Illescas, Jordi Pizarro, Marina Ruiz and Pixy Yijun Liao.
