Espacio Cultural Serrería Belga is pleased to welcome After All: Photography in the Helga de Alvear Collection. Part of the PHotoESPAÑA 2025 programme, this exhibition surveys the visual history of Europe’s transformation through its architecture, revisiting a century of rupture and rebirth in which photographers documented the echoes of war, industry, and memory.
It shows the gaping wound left by World War I, the industrial crisis that hit West Germany in 1950 and later spread to the rest of Europe and the United States, and the reshaping of the global political order after the fall of the Berlin Wall, an event that marked the birth of contemporary society, with all its contradictions and conflicts.
