This exhibition proposes an immersion into the hadal zone, the deepest ocean layer, where darkness covers everything. Focusing on aquatic experiences, the works of Lois Patiño reflect on the sensory and perceptive aspects of the underwater universe. An experience he finds intimate, contemplative and of deep introspection, where floatability and the refraction of light trigger sensations that go beyond the corporeal.

“Post” means after, “trans” refers to the other side. Trans-humanism and post-humanism are terms that are widely used at present, seem opposites but often come to mean the same thing: an improvement of the human condition as it has been understood until now. This exhibition ranges between what is generic of both prefixes, thinking about the human body and its identity.

‘FACES’ is an exhibition of 55 photographs taken by film director Isabel Coixet during the making of her films. Portraits of actors and actresses like Tim Roberts, Juliette Binoche, Rinko Kikuchi and writers such as Henning Mankell and John Berger, will be on view in the RocioSantaCruz gallery, situated on Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 627, from 26th May to 11th June. The money raised from the exhibition will go to Proactiva Open Arms, an NGO giving humanitarian aid to the refugees in Lesbos. Òscar Camps, activist and director of the organization, received the award Catalan of the Year 2015. In parallel to the exhibition, there will be the chance to see a documentary called ‘Words, maps, secrets and other things’, by Elena Trapé, a 53 minute film that reveals the intimate world of Isabel Coixet, in addition to a selection of her short films.
