Contemporary photography expands, mutates and becomes an experience in PhotoCreativaBAthe space that from the Liceo Courtyard Gallery (drives new ways of looking. This month it opens “REW”an exhibition that rewinds the image to turn the home – that idealized refuge – into a territory of questions, duels and resistance.
REW brings together works of Star Caraballo (Spain), Gloria Silva Seeber (Argentina) and Kicca Tommasi (Italy), curated by Natheimdirector of FotoCreativaBA.
“A rewind image never comes back the same”: that is the conceptual starting point of a proposal that invites us to go back to discover what persists over time and what has cracked.
According to the curator, REW: rewind to rewrite, is an exhibition that proposes returning to the ruins of the home to understand what persists: REW is to return to break the spell; It is inhabiting what was left standing; It is accepting that the home can also be an architecture of collapse.
The exhibition can be visited at Av. Santa Fe 2729 (1st floor, Rooms 45-47) until Saturday October 25with special activations he Thursday 23 and the Saturday 25in a closing with the artists.
A home that opens in cracks
Behind this emotional cartography is Natheim (Natalia Heim)social communicator, photographer and curator with an international career. His work has been exhibited in Rome, Madrid, Montevideo, Chengdu, Bilbao, Beijing and in institutions like the Haroldo Conti Museum and the Argentine Photography Biennial.
Since 2013, Natheim has promoted PhotoCreativaBApioneering project in expanded photographywith a gallery, residences and professional training. His curatorial commitment to REW is clear: the image is not only what is seen, but what still beats underneath.
For Natheim, in this “rewind” lies the gesture of returning to time, to the house, to affection and its breakdown. Heim selects three women who work in different microscope-wide languages, to compose a discourse where fragility, resistance and the imaginary of home are intertwined.
Estrella Caraballo: role as a memory capsule
The work of Star Caraballo It delves into paper as a support for the intimate and the collective. Heir to diaries, written fragments, family stories and absences, Caraballo weaves personal cosmogonies that transcend the object.
In REW, his installation challenges the table, the room, the folds of the paper that contain an echo of the past. Appropriating the fragility of that support, the artist turns it into territory: the house, the rituals, the voices that are no longer there.
His work invites the viewer to sniff out the texture of time, to stop at what is left halfway.
Gloria Silva Seeber: metal, object and everyday pang
Gloria Silva Seeber brings to the exhibition space metals, sharp objects and surfaces where the sinister emerges from the everyday. A tension creeps into his proposal: routine hides a fissure, the shelter becomes a trap, the domestic object becomes resistance.

His work at REW raises the question: what internal landscape is reflected in those sheets of metal or in those fragments of a wounded object?
Silva Seeber It exposes the house as architecture of collapse—not only literal, but emotional—and opens a fissure where mourning and memory become a plastic gesture.
Kicca Tommasi: body, archive and wounded space
From Italy, Kicca Tommasi provides an audiovisual view that turns the archival body and wounded architecture into a recovery project. His work displays mourning as a transit – not only grief, but a form -, the space of the home as a trace and the body as a trace of what has been experienced.

In REW, Tommasi inhabits the crack of the interior with video, projection and expanded space: the house enters the scene no longer as a refuge but as a scene of human fragility.
With this, the viewer is invited to stop in the moving image, to see what escapes the frame, to recognize what was not intended.
Why go
Visit REW It is more than seeing images: it is entering the vibrancy of the home as what it was, what it is and what could have been. It is stopping before a paper that wrinkles, a metal that marks, a body that projects itself. It is recognizing that the house can tell stories of resistance and that the expanded image can be transformed into a space for questioning. In a world of fast screens and memory stripping, this exhibition proposes go back insidereturn to home, return to the gesture of looking.
The exhibition is not critical of home or the past: It is an affirmation of what happens when the refuge is fractured and memory becomes a work. YesBeyond the routine, I entered that cracked coat and discovered what continues to beat in its folds.
