still

Chiquita Room C/ Villaroel, 25, Barcelona

Julia Aurora Guzmán's exhibition still refers to a void activated by the memory of its past presence. It is the externalization and formulation of a mourning process.

Presence Is the Only Goddess I Worship

Chiquita Room C/ Villaroel, 25, Barcelona

One of life’s greatest challenges is to remain present in it. Our minds wander in constant yet fruitless fugue between the past and the future.

Liminal

Galería Pelaires Carrer de Can Verí, 3, Palma
