The exposure "Return to Life", in Madrid, created by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the Magnum agency, presents works by eight photographers who show the daily lives of 34 people in the fight against the HIV virus.
"The real heroes of this project are the people being photographed themselves, the people who let us into their homes," Mark Lubell, director of Magnum Photos in New York, told Reuters.
The aim of the exhibition is to go beyond statistics. "We want to go beyond the figures, which are cold and formal. Here we put flesh and blood on these numbers", said the person responsible for communications at the Global Fund, Andrew Hurst, during the presentation of the exhibition last Friday (27/03 ).
To carry out "Return to Life", each photographer took two trips, four months apart, to nine countries, to convey the changes in patients before and after starting antiretroviral treatment.
