Julia Spínola

One hundred equal faces

Cien Rostros Iguales

A phrase that floats about the head.

Julia Spínola presents at etHALL a body of works that continue her investigation about the construction of an image of closeness, of what is set in motion when the body sets in motion. City deployed in two gestures, in length and front. The fortuitous encounter during the work process with Poeta in Nueva York by Federico García Lorca serves to the artist like a reference for this exhibition, in the way of the imagined conversation with the author who interrogates a city and tries to open it through words.

The group of drawings Cien rostros iguales make up a reconstruction, a process of assembly and disassembly of a single motif. The drawing of a street that opens up in perspective, a pattern with the juxtaposed presence of a figure and feet mix within this background and other isolated details of the drawings that the poet made during his stay in New York.

In a dialogue with the drawings the work Arpas de la saliva composed of twelve horizontal bars of agglutinated salt. A homage to the verse by Lorca that gives the piece its title.
