A photographic exhibition that transcends cultural boundaries

The essence of this exhibition is to witness how both photographers manage to transform everyday scenes into authentic works of art. The images capture shadows, reflections, textures and colors that tell stories through the simple. Each photograph invites us to stop, observe and rediscover apparently simple elements such as a worn door, some cables or the way in which light is projected.

In addition to being a reflection of their talent, Joanna Butler and Nina Reistad’s art connects two seemingly opposing cultures. Through their lenses, Mijas and Norway merge in a visual narrative that highlights their differences and similarities, transcending cultural and climatic boundaries and exposing them to the viewer.

The charm of Mijas, reflected in photographs

In this exhibition, both artists show their affection for the municipality in their own way. Their way of capturing the essence of both places reflects a unique personality in their photographs, making their joint work not leave anyone indifferent.

Joanna Butler’s goal is to capture Mijas by capturing its authenticity. Every corner photographed speaks of the life of this municipality, with its white facades and the human stories that inhabit every corner.

On the other hand, Nina Reistad focuses more on contrasts and how Mijas and Norway, despite being so different places, share the same beauty. Her work is a tribute to the differences and similarities of both cultures showing how the icy landscapes of Norway find a curious parallelism with the warmth and color of the streets of Mijas.
