Matadero Madrid opens this Thursday the photographic exhibition 'Nada Espontáneo. Una mirada a los 90', by photographer Jesús Ugalde, which presents 22 portraits of representative figures from Spanish music and cinema of the decade.

The exhibition, organized by Matadero Madrid, displays for the first time an image from the filming of the iconic film Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, directed by Pedro Almodóvar, showing a key scene with Carmen Maura. This unseen snapshot captures the director in action during the recording.
The project by Jesús Ugalde, a photographer specializing in portraiture and fashion born in Madrid in 1964, brings together 22 portraits from his personal archive. Ugalde worked for major record labels in the nineties, documenting significant moments in Spanish music.
Among the snapshots are images from the recording sessions of Los Rodríguez, the first photoshoot of La Oreja de Van Gogh, portraits of Alejandro Sanz prior to his album Más, and works by artists such as Rosana, Martirio, Manolo Tena, Raimundo Amador, Christina Rosenvinge, and Lole. An image of Carlos Berlanga characterized as Gala, wife of Salvador Dalí, is also exhibited.
The exhibition's title, 'Nada Espontáneo' (Nothing Spontaneous), alludes to the decade's aesthetic, marked by artifice and posing, a seed of today's social media culture, according to the author. The exhibition broadens its perspective to the cinematic realm with photographs of Antonio Banderas and Fernando Trueba.
The exhibition, visible in the doorways of Nave 15 at Matadero Madrid, coincides with the venue's summer music programming, which includes the European Music Day and the 'Superestrellas' cycle.
