Photographs and drawings: the galaxy of Bárbara Allende, where Ouka Leele was born. The abundant graphic material from the Lafuente Archive shows the transformation of the artist Bárbara Allende into Ouka Leele, the nickname adopted at the end of the eighties by this essential photographer in the history of twentieth-century Spanish photography. In dialogue with a careful selection of her drawings, comics, notebooks and preparatory sketches, her black-and-white and hand-coloured photographs evolve from the first family shots to sophisticated stagings, ending with her famous Peluquería series. Winner of the award for the best published book of 2021 and second prize in the bibliophilia category.
