Coco Capitán

Maximillian William, London is pleased to present Naïvy: In Fifty (Definitive) Photographs, Coco Capitán’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Anchored in her ever-evolving photography practice, the show exhibits the fifty definitive photographs of the artist’s now complete Naïvy series. Naïvy has captivated Capitán for over a decade. Navigating themes of adventure, belonging and loss of innocence, the series pays tribute to an imagined nautical universe, one peopled by Capitán’s Lost Naïvy sailors.
