Three days in an empty Bilbao

The Guggenheim Bilbao commissioned a digital exhibition of photographs Ballester took over three days in April 2020 — while the city was shut down by the coronavirus lockdown. The result is a record of a place that doesn't normally stand still, photographed by an artist known for documenting absence.

A virtual gallery, online

Working with Lin3s, Koalition built the digital experience that brings the photographs to anyone with a browser — a virtual exhibition that travels past the museum walls.
