The exhibition "Cazadores de Sombras" ("Shadow Hunters") brings together sixteen photographers with the aim of presenting a sample of Spanish photography today. Devised for the second edition of the international Fotográfica Bogotá 2007 event, the show subsequently moved on to Sao Paulo, Lima, San José de Costa Rica, Santiago de Chile, Panamá, Córdoba, La Habana and Ciudad de México.
Its central thread involved an approach to the work of these artists viewed from the challenge not only of portraying reality but presenting the lines of shadow, " the doubt, the ambiguity, the uncertainty, what has not yet happened and may never happened", in the words of the curator, Rosa Olivares.
The exhibition was accompanied by a series of conferences and round-tables staged at the different venues, the aim of which was to present and explore the work of the artist included in the show, providing the public with the chance to meet them and question them about their output. Bogotá, for example, featured the work of Javier Codesal, Begoña Montalbán, Manel Esclusa and Tomy Ceballos; with Javier Codesal and Tomy Ceballos, also involved in Lima, on this occasion accompanied by Concha Pérez. For the exhibition held in Santiago de Chile, Alicia Martín and Germán Gómez presented their work; Sergio Belinchón was given the opportunity to do so in Panama, and Amparo Garrido and Mario de Ayguavives did likewise in Córdoba in Argentina. At the venue in San José, Costa Rica, the exhibition curator, who had accompanied the artists at the remaining venues, was given the task of performing the presentations.
Other guests invited to the opening ceremony in Bogotá included Estrella de Diego, Professor of Art History at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Fernando Castro, Lecturer in Art History at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
