The series consists of a written-visual diary developed between the Spanish 15-M and the global movements immediately prior to the covid-19 pandemic. In other words, Photowritings (2011-2019) (Dedicated to Allan Sekula) covers a global landscape that runs between the financial crisis of 2007 and the public health crisis of 2020, going through the outbreaks of the new global feminist wave, the transnational movement for climate justice, and even for the spontaneous collective mourning that took place on Las Ramblas in Barcelona the night after the 2017 terrorist attack. It is made up of photographs taken and notes written by Marcelo Expósito in Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Buenos Aires, Malaga and Rio de Janeiro.

The images of Photowritings (2011-2019) (Dedicated to Allan Sekula) seek to help people think about different types of events from within and in real time. These events are both massive —occurring in large-scale public spaces— as well as in groups or in more intimate collective situations. They consist of both resistance or oppositional expressions, as well as constructive practices for the alternative organization of collective experience or the transmission or production of knowledge about other ways of inhabiting a world in a situation of global collapse. From the voluminous archive of photographs and annotations taken by its author during the 2010s, this series of 10 pieces constitutes the selection of a set of personal and political, existential and artistic, collective and intimate experiences.
