Anna Cabrera and Angel Albarrán are among the most innovative and renowned photographers of their generation.

Windows to the Unexpected is the second book in a trilogy that began with the bestselling book Remembering the Future, where the authors explore complexities of form and narrative in photography.

This book delves into the tension between the visible and the unforeseen, inviting viewers to question what they see and uncover what lies beyond the image.

Inspired by Julio Cortázar’s essay of the same name, this volume examines how the unexpected emerges in images without warning, challenging conventional perceptions of reality. The unexpected is not manufactured but revealed, transforming photography into a space of multiple interpretations, where the extraordinary is hidden within the ordinary. Albarrán Cabrera are widely recognized for their mastery of platinum, palladium, cyanotype, and gelatin silver processes and have pioneered and developed new techniques in their color prints, incorporating pigments, Japanese paper, and gold leaf. Their work has been exhibited in Spain, Japan, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Lebanon, Italy, and the United States. Prestigious private collections and institutions such as Hermès, the Goetz Collection, the German Bundestag Art Collection and Banco Santander hold selections of their photographs.
