Within a space of imperceptible limits, we follow a character on her expedition to an unknown destination as she embarks on a series of curious encounters that will connect her to her surroundings.

Sobremesa is a project by Liliana Díaz in collaboration with Xavier Barriga that explores the way we feed ourselves and the content we choose to do so. The exhibition, oriented towards the exploration of the relationship between public and artwork through sculpture and bread, is an attempt to evidence the way in which we share and to question the permanence of sculpture and its function.
