CurArte

CurArte is a full-fledged thanks to the professionals who look after the health of others. Pandemics have shown the extent to which research and health care are necessary for all and, above other priorities, there is no doubt that the dedication and heroism of the members of the health community has multiplied to the point of exhaustion. High-risk working conditions, endless working hours, different strategies almost every day and dealing with a smiling face to convey empathy and tranquility to the patient. What less to document that effort. For four decades, since Tino Soriano photographed the conditions in which the inmates lived in a psychiatric hospital and until his last images in a nursing home affected by coronavirus, his passion has been to witness the effort of the professionals who remove chestnuts from the fire and leave their skin for others when it is most needed. Health workers who travel wherever necessary to alleviate the consequences of disasters, experts who work in hospitals or medical centers to provide adequate assistance, guardian angels who watch over us, because healing is an art as vocational as any other manifestation. artistic. And, in addition, CurArte contains a unique visual legacy: exploring with a camera a dimension reserved for professionals and patients, photographs in the intimacy of healing. It is an unrepeatable book with images that reveal stories of love, generosity, heroism and improvisation. From the most cutting-edge technological advances to surgical interventions lighting an operating room with a simple mobile phone. We celebrate forty years of Spanish healthcare, one of the most praised models in the world, which Tino Soriano has had the perseverance to portray throughout his long professional career.
