A joint presentation by BETA Contemporary and Sorondo Projects, for Photo London 2025 Gabriel Pinto & Silvana Trevale.
 
What does a land remember of its people - of their births, their deaths, their songs, their silences? For this edition of Photo London, two Venezuelan photographers offer an answer shaped by ritual. Gabriel Pinto turns his gaze toward death; Silvana Trevale, toward life. Their images do not mirror each other - they complete each other. Each body of work reveals one half of a cycle that binds all of us, but is lived in intensely local, deeply embodied ways.

This presentation also brings together two contemporary art spaces founded by Venezuelans abroad - Sorondo Projects and BETA Contemporary. While based in Barcelona, both galleries maintain a strong link to the culture and perspectives of their home country, actively supporting emerging artists whose work navigates memory, identity, and transformation.

By uniting their programs for this special presentation, Sorondo and BETA bring forward not just two powerful artistic voices, but two distinct photographic practices grounded in time, place, and lived experience. Together, these artists offer a vision of Venezuela that burns at both ends: with the intensity of farewell, and the tenderness of arrival. Life and death are not opposites — they are continuities. These works were created in the same landscape, within days of each other, in quiet dialogue across bodies, rituals, and generations.
