From photographer Santiago Melazzini, maker of popular flipbooks such as Tango Dancer and I Love You, comes a special four-in-one, full-color flipbook disguised as a stack of $100 bills. Running a thumb over the edges of the "bills" in the stack, the viewer will observe four short, satirical films on the transience of wealth. A recurring cast of characters plays roles based on stereotypes from slapstick silent movies: the wealthy, arrogant high roller; the robber in his prison stripes and domino mask; and the opportunistic showgirl. In a time of financial uncertainty gripping the world, this playful and good-natured item is a reminder that fortunes can change in the blink of an eye, but a sense of humor is an asset that, once possessed, can never be taken away.

Clic! reúne una selección de textos dedicados al pensamiento teórico sobre la fotografía desde sus comienzos hasta la actualidad. El montaje, la yuxtaposición de esos fragmentos escritos, ofrece un panorama de las transformaciones de la propia tecnica fotografica y de las practicas sociales vinculadas a ella. Fotografia y Percepcion, el ultimo volumen de Clic!, recorre distintas reflexiones sobre la recepcion y la mirada, la produccion de sentido en torno de la imagen fotografica y, tambien, sus restos de insignificancia. Resuenan en estos textos los debates e influencias teoricas que han atravesado la conformacion y el devenir de los estudios semioticos/semiologicos y de analisis del discurso.Autores compilados: Christian Metz, Don Slater, Gabriel Bauret, Geoffrey Batchen, Guillermo Martin, Jacques Ranciere, Jean Claude Chamboredon, Jean Marie Schaeffer, John Berger, John Tagg, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Lorenzo Vilches, Man Ray, Maria Eugenia Iturralde, Marshall McLuhan, Martine Joly, Mauricio Molina, Philippe Dubois, Pierre Sorlin, Robert Castel, Roland Barthes, Roman Gubern, Victor Burgin, Vilem Flusser.

This is a selection of 90 of the most impactful photographs, that provide a map of the past 100 years, from the epic to the intimate, the heroic to the barbaric, that literally changed our world. Photographs of the Wright Brothers conquering the air; Martin Luther King making his "I have a Dream" speech in Washington; the massacre in Tiananmen Square, do more than report they have come to symbolise whole epochs and become part of the universal visual memory in a way that few works of painting have managed to do.

La imagen es esencial en esta propuesta creativa, pero no lo es menos el concepto, la idea, que se transcribe fielmente en el texto o título de cada pieza, elemento estructural que se hace imprescindible en la articulacion conceptual y comprension de la pieza. La muestra incorpora, al mismo tiempo varios poemas collages de Elena Lafuente Alonso con una interesante aportacion estetica y visual vinculada con los inicios del dadaismo europeo. Composiciones frescas, directas, plenas de expresividad inspiradas o referidas a varias obras de Pablo, que abren nuevos territorios creativos y de expansion semantica.
