‘The performance En el moment en què s’uneixin is the main piece in the display. The title refers to the first words of a Roman law, that at present, is adapted to the different current States. It consists of objects that move, when they cross the boundary line that defines a space. It determines whether these objects belong to one space or to the other adjoining space. Is it a single line? Is it more than one line? Is it a spot? Or is it a space? Is it more than a space? Cutting an image. Obtaining two from one, or remaking one from two. The exhibition is a continuation of the admiration that the artist feels towards all photographers, when they must decide, in a sensitive and effective manner, where the image that we will see ends.’ Laia Ventayol, 2017. Laia Ventayol suggests observing cut-off points and limits, and the re-forming of space.
