Contemporary cinema continues researching new cinematographic forms, from the avant-garde to expanded cinema.

Against a backdrop ranging from Milan Kundera to Simone Weil, Vieta reflects on the contradictions of human experience through snapshots that capture the complexity of the spectrum of our emotions, thoughts and experiences. Her works redefine the relationship between opposites with the coherence that only lies in dreams.

The exhibition offers a journey through Almudena Fernández Fariña’s work spanning a thirty-year career, repositioning her path, and revealing an unprecedented artist whose versatility is evident in a series of parallel processes that include photographic practices, embroidery, ceramic pieces and book-objects.
