For decades, Spanish photographer Chema Madoz has built a body of work from a single, quietly radical premise: that the world, when looked at honestly and strangely enough, does not hold its shape. His latest exhibition at Madrid's Elvira González gallery — free and open to the public — gathers photographs that bend familiar objects into unfamiliar truths, arriving at a moment when the art world is asking hard questions about what images mean and who, or what, makes them. Madoz's answer is not triumphant but considered: the soul of a photograph lives in the consciousness that chose to make it.
