197 Landscapes of Abstraction
Adrià Cañameras
Edition of 200
PROGRESSO ARCHIVE – 002
Adrià Cañameras has transformed a moment of artistic disorientation (as he himself states) into an opportunity to explore the possibilities presented by the interaction between a limited series of chemicals and Fujifilm's FP-100 photographic paper.
The work is limited in terms of the materials used (bleach, turpentine, citrus), but also in terms of the number of tests possible, limited to a batch of 20 packs of 10 films, and that are now out of stock commercially. This limitation is not a shortcoming, but rather serves to make the artist's project more concise. Two of the pieces have been lost, therefore the work collected here actually consists of 197 + 3 abstract landscapes. Unfinished, the series of compositions first of all shows the productive nature of repetition. Despite variations, repetition of the same technique is not redundant, but instead progressively traces the outlines of a landscape of undecided dimensions.

STILLZ
Edition of 500
PROGRESSO DISTRIBUTION (EU)
“su·ti·ru·zu” is a visual diary documenting the journeys of filmmaker and photographer STILLZ in Japan. Titled after the phonetic pronunciation of “STILLZ” in Katakana, the book offers an intimate exploration of his relationship with the country, which he has frequently visited since the age of sixteen. Through a series of dynamic photographs —both digital and analogue— this first edition presents an eclectic mix of bold, youth-driven energy, friendships, eccentric characters, serene natural landscapes, and a recurring fascination with cars; capturing everything from the rush of Shinjuku’s streets to the stillness of Mount Fuji.
Organized around STILLZ’s trips between 2020 and 2024, this photo-chronicle gives a glimpse into the author’s travel memories, seen through his unique raw perspective. Across the pages, these memories blend with appearances from music icons like Rosalía, Yuki Chiba, Bad Bunny, Mora, or Arca, reflecting the artist’s strong and evolving connection to contemporary culture. In essence, the publication unfolds like a collage, piecing together fragments from STILLZ’s japanese experience and revealing the fleeting beauty of a country that continues to inspire him.

RUGE
Borja Llobregat & Ostap Yashchuk
Edition of 150
PROGRESSO ARCHIVE – 006
In 2018, Borja Llobregat and Ostap Yashchuk embarked on a transformative journey, converting a vacant warehouse into RUGE, a DIY photo studio fueled by ingenuity and YouTube tutorials.
Their studio, lacking a blueprint, evolved daily, between a cozy home and a professional workspace, attracting both mainstream clients and fostering a vibrant creative community in Madrid.
Despite their success, plans to extend their lease were dashed when the building owner sold the premises to an investment firm, forcing Borja and Ostap to confront the impending departure of RUGE.
In response, they embarked on a mission to preserve RUGE’s essence, meticulously photographing every corner of the studio, capturing its spirit in a book that serves as both an archive.
Their story underscores the dynamic nature of creative spaces, emphasizing the importance of adaptation and resilience in the face of uncertainty.
Through their documentation, RUGE’s legacy transcends its physical confines, offering a timeless glimpse into the heart and soul of a space that forever shaped Madrid’s creative landscape.

How to Pose the Model
Rita Lino
Edition of 100
PROGRESSO ARCHIVE – 004
With selected artworks from the archive of the visual artist Rita Lino, and afterwards assembled together by lafolie8, “How to pose the model” is the first poster curated and produced by Progresso.
When unfolded, the set of subtle images come together at peace, revealing a series of movements that seem to have been interrupted by the audience.
Focusing mainly on her personal work, Rita Lino has been developing and materialising it in many series of photos as visual exercises that explore a natural obsession with the self and the persona; a continuous work-in-progress using the body as primary matter to be re-created and exorcised.
Lino describes her photography as animalistic, instinctive, intimate, narcissistic, a thousand possible interpretations, a spiritual place, a self-sustained rehab outlined by a brutal transparency.
