In “Seresdelrío”, Natalia Martínez summons fantastic beings emerging from the waters to hack the known world and expand access through the power of colored pencils.

In doing so, they reclaim the concept of vulnerability and transience through a precious tissue that is as close to being a subject of study as an exceedingly exquisite relic.

The satellite is considered a guide to the hidden side of nature, a dimension that once again links it to water, as an entity that flows, filters, and manifests itself accidentally and symbolically.

Clara Nerone investigates the first channeling of streams in the city of Buenos Aires to reflect, through liquid images, on the city's unconscious and the way it tensions the upper and lower realms. Link to see details.

and a memento mori

In “Los fantasmas siempre vuelven al mismo lugar”, Antonella Andreoletti draws with white pencil on a black background, pondering the distance between being and representing, or between being and not being.

Thus, she prefigures urgent forms before they fade away.
