Remembering the Future

For years, Angel Albarrán (b. 1969) and Anna Cabrera (b. 1969) have been the preferred printers for museums and world-renowned photographers such as Masao Yamamoto. Recently, they have developed as artists, experimenting with new traditional printing techniques and exhibiting around the world. In addition to mastering traditional techniques such as platinum prints and cyanotypes, they have developed a unique printing technology: printing photographs with pigments on thin Japanese paper, which is then placed on gold leaf, imbuing the images with a supernatural quality.

This album, one of the most magnificent of recent years, demonstrates the extraordinary beauty of the duo’s masterful photographic and printing techniques. Frequent trips to Japan inform the content of these photographs, which are often wonderfully abstract in their print treatment; colour photographs.
