BAphoto PROFILES
BAphoto presents Open File, a series of interviews coordinated by Marina Oybin in which the artists are invited to revisit the history of their images based on an anecdote or memory linked to their personal archive.
These interviews last between 15 and 20 minutes and are carried out via Zoom. In addition, they are available on BAphoto's YouTube channel. Some of the interviewees are Nora Lezano, Esteban Pastorino, Diego Ortiz Mugica, Andrea Ostera, Fede Ruiz Santesteban and Andrea Juan.
