A wooden box, a lens, a developer and a fixer, a reserve of paper, light and an exposure obtained thanks to an intimate relationship with the sun: the world of the minute photographer. Then comes the negative, followed by the positive. This art has the gift of adding imperfections to create unique and unrepeatable works.

OBRA "SUSPENDER LA PALABRA: Diana Rangel, Héctor Cavallaro i Ezequiel Rodulfo
Date: 31 of May from 19 to 20
Suspender la palabra brings together literature, musical dramaturgy and visual art. Exploring stuttering as a friction and rupture of language, the work reveals its depth in the cuts, repetitions and tension between what has been said and what has not been said. Created in collaboration by Diana Rangel, Ezequiel Rodulfo and Héctor Cavallaro, the piece intertwines voice, body and sound in a continuous dialogue. This work is part of the 1st Lumínic - Mercantic artistic residency.
