Derby day

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal
🎙️ Collective documentation

This is a color photograph featuring Majorettes. We are situated in Canòdrom Square during a sports celebration. Some believe it might have been a derby, considered the most important race of the year. SSome participants claim that they could win prizes equivalent to 3,900 euros. This event was held only once a year. For this reason, an official photograph of the day was taken and later displayed in what is now the Margarita Salas room. In the photograph, above the stands, we can also see the structure housing the photographic apparatus responsible for capturing the famous 'photo finish.'"


⚙️ Methodology
