Work from Parasomnia. “The title of the series Parasomnia alludes to sleep disorders and occurrences of anomalous and unusual actions. The body of work engages with our perception of the world and weaves elements of fine art, fashion and documentary generating something new: bold and perplexing, colourful yet serious, lucid and enigmatic.

Cécile Hartmann Work from her oeuvre. “Life’s main medium is precisely repetition. (Joseph Brodsky) Some things help to dodge the redundancy of time.

Eileen Quinlan Work from Smoke and Mirrors. “…As the title of the series suggests, the logic of this work is divided between the rhetoric of a popular skepticism about the verity of the representational image, and the lack of a descriptive capacity regarding its material reality.

Carlos Irijalba Work from his oeuvre. “Carlos Irijalba (Pamplona, 1979) graduated at the Basque Country University and UDK Berlin with professor Lothar Baumgarten.
