The moments experienced mutate over time, become smaller, others are magnified, idealised, forgotten, and some are invented. Another folly of memory is that we can experience exactly the same thing as another person, or persons, and surely their memory and experience will not be the same as ours. For La Santa there is an important nuance to all this, and that is that MEMORY IS A PLACE IN THE BODY. This is the starting point for the videos and photos in a very hard black and white, without greys of Μετέωρα Coordinates: 39°42′45″N 21°37′36″E / 39.7125, 21.626666666667 because for the artist, when we remember, we do not do it with nuances. We simplify emotions. We are firm. We think we know.

For Pablo Carrascosa, rooted in the line of creative abstraction, composing from the photos and videos of La Santa is an attractive challenge in working from visual suggestion. The modular synthesiser will be a very powerful tool and, at the same time, limited in some of its actions. With these elements and from the search for simplicity in the discourse, its function will be to provide a new layer of reading to the imaginary of La Santa.
