Guided tour with Marta Mas

Guided visit to Viure o l’enigma de la raó by artist Marta Mas.

This exhibition is based on my grandmother’s diaries, who lived with schizophrenia and depression, marked by the feel ng of never having found a place in the world, neither as a writer nor as a woman. The works explore the relationship between generational inheritance (the fear of ending up like her) and the fear of dying (or perhaps, more precisely, the fear of not having truly lived). Through photography, the spaces of intimacy that allow us to endure are illustrated. The images that appear, scenes of everyday life, of the here and now, function as an antidote to distress. The weight of simple gestures, those of community and of the people we love, counteracts isolation and brings us back, at last, to life.
