Cielito Lindo
2025
Postcards have been, since their origin, a visual and ideological construction. Through the manipulation of images, these small windows on the world have contributed to shaping the perception of tourist destinations, transforming reality into an idealised scenario. Cielito lindo presents part of Cristina Arribas’s enormous collection of postcards. Here, the sky becomes the protagonist of a game of repetitions and assemblages. In this montage practice, the postcards reveal their essence as artifices that challenge perception and invite us to reflect on the visual construction and stereotypes of the landscape.
Numbered edition of 250 copies.
24€ (IVA incl.)
