Archaeology of Image
Gemma Penya Ferrer

PROGRESSO ARCHIVE – 010

In this grey paper box, tied with a white ribbon, rests the result of Gemma Penya Ferrer's research journey, developed through days of investigation within the image archive of the Picture Collection at The New York Public Library.

The project reflects on how photographic archives shape collective memory and our understanding of the present. It reveals the archive as a non-neutral space, where selection, classification, and preservation expose hidden biases and determine what is remembered or forgotten, with a focus on fashion imagery, objects, and contemporary culture.

( About )

( Bag 0 )

Progresso is a publishing house creating paper publications in close collaboration with artists and other important cultural figures, founded in 2022 by Gemma Penya Ferrer & Aitor Bigas.

For us, each book can be an archive, a tangible compendium of things. We love to give narrative to the images through the design and artistic direction of each publication. We also offer editorial services such as international distribution and print production.
