Born in Madrid, Laguillo has lived in Barcelona since 1972 and taught photography at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Barcelona from 1980 until 2024, holding a professorship from the mid-1990s. He is best known today for his urban documentary work, above all his long record of Barcelona’s transformation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"RU\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ePublished for the exhibition held in the cultural hall of the Caja de Ahorros de Navarra (Navarre Savings Bank) in Burlada, just outside Pamplona, from 20 to 31 May 1983, the catalogue shows an earlier and less familiar Laguillo. In September 1982 a grant from the Caja de Ahorros de Barcelona allowed him to research platinum and palladium printing, and all five works reproduced here are palladium prints, dated between November 1982 and February 1983. The front cover shows a laced black boot, and a second photograph, captioned with the same date and time of day, a shoe on a massive, cracked sole. Both appear to be orthopaedic. The other three turn to architecture: a staircase in the hospice at Olot, a weathered wall by the port of Barcelona and an abandoned factory at El Catllar, near Tarragona.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"RU\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThe title, from the Greek for “straight” or “correct” and the root of “orthopaedic”, is glossed in Spanish inside the front cover, above a short extract from Laguillo’s writing in which he objects to being labelled an “urban landscape photographer”.
