A Hard Merciless Light explores the connection between leftist worker movements and photography in the run up to the second world war.

MADRID, SPAIN, April 24, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Madrid's Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofia is showing a collection of pictures from the worker-photography movement between 1926 and 1939.

A Hard Merciless Light will be on display until August 22nd 2011, displaying some fascinating examples of images used during that era in the press.

The installation explores how the partnership of photography and the leftist worker movement became intertwined and spread from humble beginnings in the Soviet Union to several other countries including the US and Spain.

In a statement, the organisers remarked: "The exhibition displaces the importance of mechanical vision and instead considers photography's relationship with social movements, shifting the debate toward photography as a document."

Tickets to see just the temporary exhibitions at the arts space cost EUR3 (GBP2.70), or people can see the facility's whole collection for EUR6. There are also certain times of the week when admission is free.

A Hard Merciless Light is on display on Floor 3 of the Sabatini Building.

It is open from 10:00 local time daily, closing at 21:00 every day except Sunday, when it shuts at 14:30. It is also closed all day on Tuesday.
