Memoriales is inspired by the authors' interest in the experience of memory as a way of problematising and examining our relationship with the past and with the writing of history. For Bleda y Rosa this relationship is complex and problematic, since it inevitably reveals lapses of awareness, forgettings, exaggerations and contradictions. In total there are twenty-three images organised in three groups, each centred on one of the three cities treated: Berlin, Jerusalem and Washington. These are three cities marked by their past, urban territories in which vestiges of different historical moments persist and coexist. The artistic trajectory of Bleda y Rosa (María Bleda, Castellón, 1969; José María Rosa, Albacete, 1970) was consolidated in 1992 with their first series, Campos de fútbol; they have developed an authorial trajectory of recognised singularity and coherence, through a practice that takes as references the genres of landscape and topographic and architectural representation.
