On April 16th, 2016 an earthquake registering 7.8 on the Richter scale struck the coast of Ecuador. One of the worst quakes in the countryΓÇÖs history, it laid bare a situation of antiquated institutions, dysfunctional processes, and unapplied norms. But it also revealed a society of courageous and resourceful people who rose up in solidarity to rebuild their lives and their environment.Siete punto ocho (Seven point eight) is a book conceived in homage to the victims of this tragedy, combining snapshots taken at the time with texts they themselves have written about the images, along with other photographs that contextualize the places affected.The narrative of this photobook by MishaVallejo and Isadora Romero proceeds slowly.The pace is one of memory and remembrance, of pondering absences, of perceiving how that sudden seismic upheaval transformed everything forever.

Xavier Miserachs (Barcelona, 1937-1998) was the youngest member of a collective which in the late 1950s revived the creativity and innovation of applied photography, all trace of which had been lost after the Spanish Civil War. He brought about a break with the past in the spirit of modernity, overcoming the constraints of the Franco regimeΓÇÖs censors, as well as the difficulties caused by the governmentΓÇÖs self-sufficiency policy. He gave up studying medicine when he discovered his calling to be a reporter, and he devoted himself professionally to photography with the vision and passion of a pioneer.This book charts a course through the era Miserachs lived in, illustrating itwith his style, his personal interests, his reports and portraits connected withthe history of the second half of the twentieth century, the various genres and uses of photography, the techniques he employed and above all the evolutionin his committed and reflective gaze, as he was always more interested in people than in the issue.The display features a selection of photographs from his vast archive, every aspect of which is encompassed for the first time ΓÇöfrom his photos as an amateur to those he took as a professional, from his black and white shots to those in colour, and from his experimentation to the work he produced to commissionΓÇö to complement those subjects that made this young photographer one of the classics before his time.
