The exhibition draws from and examines the rich spectrum of photography included in the Isabel and Agust\u00edn Coppel Collection and reviews its\u2019 picturing of the life-world in which we all exist.<br \/>For this exhibition this idea of being, and consciousness, is examined through three notions drawn from phenomenological thinking, namely the social world (mitwelt), the environment or world-around (umwelt) and the inner or own world (eigenwelt). Thus, organised into three principal groupings of images, this exhibition examines the role that photography has played in communicating what it means to exist, how we exist with others and how we develop an independent existence and a sense of our own self; in each, photography acts as a way to reflect on the challenge of being in the world. As a preface to these three sections, there is a selected group of works that together question, \u201cWhat is a photograph?\u201d and which address some of the characteristics of photography that Flusser proposes in his statements about photography and its philosophical status.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n<p>CIAC (The Isabel and Agust\u00edn Coppel Collection) is a Mexican non-profit association committed to the research and dissemination of contemporary art, supporting exhibitions, publications, research and art projects. In addition to the support provided to different art projects, and with the aim of creating a closer dialogue with a wider audience, CIAC develops projects like exhibitions, publications, apps and audio guides, which allow not only to show its collection, but also to create and share knowledge about the art of our time. The collection began in the 1990s focusing on Mexican Modern Art, promptly redirecting its focus to both national and international contemporary art with an important emphasis on photography.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artists: Berenice Abbott, Vito Acconci, Bas Jan Ader, Doug Aitken, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Francis Al\u00ffs, Diane Arbus, Ursula Arnold, Richard Avedon, Bernd &amp; Hilla Becher, Sophie Calle, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Larry [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":23146,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"Life World.
