#### Jonathan Chaparro

2018  
Photographic installation made with polyester veil and LED light.  
2 x 2,2 x 4 m

In this warm-toned installation, bathed in dimness and silence, the viewer draws aside a lace curtain to enter a photograph. The image shows two elderly people sitting with their backs to the viewer; on the left, a taller figure casts the shadow of a stooped woman, while in the background, a man accompanies her. Chaparro invites the spectator to become part of this intimate moment, evoking reflection on Article 46 of the Constitution concerning the duty of the State, family, and society to guarantee the rights of the elderly.
