We are pleased to invite you to take a second look at the Plaza de Castilla raised tank, one of the most unique places in the city.
Volver a mirar (A Second Look) is a large-scale video installation by photographer and visual artist Rosa Muñoz, who brings a contemporary reinterpretation of the space, fragmenting its architecture and rebuilding it through video art. This transformative artistic project is an invitation to stop, to observe from a different perspective, and to rediscover this symbol of urban heritage.
A journey between the visible and the suggested, where architecture, light, and movement engage in dialogue with the viewer. An interplay of shapes and perceptions that connects us with water, space, and time.
A one-of-a-kind opportunity to discover the interior of one of Madrid’s architectural icons, exceptionally available for tours while the installation is open to the public.
This event falls under the Fundación’s special programming for the Canal de Isabel II’s 175th anniversary and Fundación Canal’s 25th anniversary.
Work in space within the context of reality defines her work as a visual artist. She is interested in the suggestions, evocations, and fictions that she reconstructs from it.

(MACUF), Museo Barjola, Museum of Human Evolution, Seoul Museum of Contemporary Art, ECCO Contemporary Creation Space in Cadiz, and the former Pignatelli Water Tanks in Zaragoza as part of PhotoEspaña 2023.
Also of note is her participation in international fairs such as ARCO, Photo Miami, Photo London, Kiaf, URBANITY, MACO, Berliner, Justmad, and Seoul Photo Festival. Her works have also been included in collective exhibitions at the Instituto Cervantes of Buenos Aires, Montevideo, San Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Tangier, and Rome, as well as the Centre National D’art et de culture Georges Pompidou, the Provincial Museum of Cáceres, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid, and more.
