Project
During our stay at Faber we will ask ourselves: how can we explain the images in a different way? Can we make a speech that, unlike the rigor of the semiologists of the twentieth century, helps us to understand images and does not take us any further? And we will look for answers even if it is in a messy, chaotic way and knowing that we will not be able to explain everything. Without making a history of art, but moving between eras, categories and genres. Something that helps us understand a little bit how we got here.
