275 PESETAS Esther Pérez, Handshake 2025

A student ID portrait becomes a social portrait of a generation. Drawn from Esther Pérez’s archive, 275 Pesetas revisits the photographs she made in Madrid during the late 1980s, when she financed her studies by producing portrait images for university records. Beyond their administrative purpose, these faces capture a country in transition, reflecting the social and political atmosphere of post-Franco Spain. Both personal archive and collective document, the book reveals the unexpected historical weight of everyday photography.
