Working collaboratively since 1996, Angel Albarrán and Anna Cabrera create dreamlike photographs designed to trigger subjective associations correlating to the cultural background and past experiences of the viewer. Through their photographs, they strive to visually represent complex subjects—such as time and space—that written language frequently complicates and obscures. The pair see their photographs not just as images, but as objects. Each Albarrán Cabrera print is handcrafted using a diverse range of traditional and experimental printing techniques, including platinotype, cyanotype, and gelatin silver print processes as well as pigment printing on metallic gold leaf and smooth, satin-like Japanese gampi paper. They achieve their rich chromatic effects by toning their prints with selenium, sepia, and tea. This array of materials and methods widens the parameters of image-making and takes advantage of the expressive possibilities of photography.
