The NOPHOTO collective / agency is a Spanish collective / agency of photography, with offices in Madrid and Wuhan.
Founding of the collective
[edit]NOPHOTO was founded in 2005 by photographers Matias Costa, Iñaki Domingo, Paco Gómez García, M. A. Jorquera, Carlos Luján, Juan Millás, Eduardo Nave, Tanit Plana, Eva Sala, Juan Santos, Carlos Sanva, Marta Soul and Juan Valbuena. Jonás Bel would join a little later, in 2006. In 2014, after opening an expansion process, Rafael Trapiello was incorporated.
It was founded with the objective of making feasible unconventional, individual and group, projects. Characterized by an open attitude in content, an interdisciplinary trend in forms, the use of multiple media for diffusion of their projects, such as web and digital projection, and personal involvement in the process of gestation and production thereof. The collective assumes various forms of creation or exhibition, the result of group reflection and the interaction of alternative creation processes.1[1]
In 2006 they received the PHotoEspaña Prize for Revelation Photographer. As part of this award, the exhibition and publication Muta Matadero x NOPHOTO[2] was held at the PhotoEspaña photography festival in 2007.
In 2023 the agency is finally dissolved by the latest members.
Works
[edit]Among the collective works carried out Here and Now (2008-2009),[3] portrait of contemporary Spain, presented at the Hubei Museum of Art in Wuhan (China) in 2008 and which toured Europe for more than two years, Asia and Latin America sponsored by the Cervantes Institute and the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation; Vegaviana Memoria colonizada (2011), document of the stories of a colonization village in Extremadura built in the 1950s;[4] Last Summer (2012)[5], a look at the inhospitable and discouraging summer of 2012, drowned by government cuts; and This is Spain (2013)[6], a project documenting cultural, economic and political aspects of Spain, to subsequently elaborate a guide to the current situation and which was awarded with a FotoPres 2013 grant from the "la Caixa" Foundation and has the support of the Assistance and Cultural Assistance Fund of VEGAP. In 2016 La Fábrica publishes a book in its PhotoBolsillo collection of monographs of photographers, dedicated to the collective[7]. In 2018 they work on some previous subjects in two new projects: Huesca. Colonized Memory, a commission from the Diputación de Huesca on the depopulation and colonization in the area of the Monegros and Renewal, a work on the crisis and the recovery in the form of a dictionary, within the research project Cultural Narratives of Crisis and Renewal led by the Newcastle University.
