This photography exhibition demonstrates the relationship between humans and the urban environment, as well as how they embrace and interact with each other. Humans are, by nature, sociable: empathy is their emotional passport to interaction, and the camera has been, since its invention, a persistent mediator. “Eduardo Bermúdez's photographs bring us closer to everyday life in contrast to a particularly exceptional backdrop: Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. In our fifteen-hundred-year-old city—as in every traditional city—history and the contemporary world struggle daily to enter the picture. From such tension emerge fleeting and fleeting contrasts that Bermúdez's camera documents, not out of mere curiosity, but out of empathy, identifying with his subjects and, to a large extent, becoming part of the subjects' very space.”

Eduardo Bermúdez is an architect and graduate of the University of Puerto Rico. His interest in photography began at a young age, and he pursues it alongside his profession. As an architect, he has excelled in projects such as the restoration of the Santa Magdalena de Pazzi Cemetery, the San Juan Museum, and the new School of Architecture building. As a photographer, he exhibited at the 8th Puerto Rico International Photography Biennial, has won awards in photography magazines, and has published several books of his photographs. These include: UnCommon Ground (2011); Raúl Echivarre and Eduardo Bermúdez, Two Weeks in Chicago (2011); Two Weeks in Chicago, Winter Edition (2013); Guayama, Sol del Caribe, San Juan sin palabras (2013); Eduardo Bermúdez San Juan, Visual Fragments of a Testimony (2013); A Walk through Old San Juan (2009); and A Walk through the Natural Environment of Puerto Rico (2009).
