Visit to "In the Troubled Air..." with Frederic Amat

Taking as his starting point the line by Lorca that gives the exhibition its name, “In the troubled air...”, Amat will evoke the flight of a flock of images and their migrations, now nesting in the CCCB under the gaze of Didi-Huberman. Like that deep “aaaah” that escapes from within, the visual forms become spaces of commotion and utopia, visible in their violent vibration and movement. Amat says that the images in this exhibition bear witness to a time of chiaroscuro. His visit creates a space for mystery, matter and gesture, inviting us to make our way around the exhibition as though listening to a melody performed “with air”, like that black sound which, for Lorca, contains duende: root, mystery and truth.

With Lateral Views, the CCCB expands the exhibition narrative by means of voices which, in their singularity, help us to look, and look at ourselves, from other viewpoints, turning the exhibition into a living, questioning space that is open to multiple forms of meaning.
