Description

In 2012 Antonio Gómez Margolles bought the space that is now his home. Before making any changes, he photographed its kitchen, feeling an impulse and responsibility to imagine the story of those who occupied and shaped the home before him. In his series Hibernation II, photographed in abandoned or semi-abandoned spaces, Margolles reflects on the memory of those who are no longer present.
