This exhibition is carried out in collaboration with the Museum of Huelva and is part of the cycle of traveling exhibitions by the Andalusian community of the Iniciarte Program.

We begin with the initial premise under which two elements – the path and the journey – have been present in all the previous projects, creating a series of works defined by a cross between painting and cinema, or rather a hybridisation of both media, with the latter arising from the discipline of painting in which it is firmly rooted.

Now, if these paths were previously established as a dialectic between the physical movement itself in the landscape and its artistic representation, in this new instalment, Viaje, código y permuta, (“Journey, code and switch”), the proposed journey becomes a symbolic path through languages and the media: that which starts with the painting and ends with the video.

For this, the painting abandons the hegemonic position of the wall and stands at the centre of the room, thus enhancing its nature as object art and creating a third adjoining dimension. With this new position of the work, which becomes both a parapet and producer-along-the-way at the same time, it is possible to reach the back of the painting through the path created around it, causing us to discover a place in the painting never seen before. It is there, where the vanitas of the 15th and 16th centuries symbolised the passage of time and the ephemerality of a life coming to an end, that the video will be projected.

Thus, as we enter the room, in this new physical movement that leads us through the paintings one by one, we take a round trip, front and back, since behind them we will find the same rendering, now in motion. This time, the path and the walk are transformed into a symbolic journey of code conversion, one that responds to the dialectical logic of converging media.

The exhibition catalogue features an essay by Juan del Junco.

The project's master is Juan del Junco.
