Between lights, folds, and ghosts, these three works trace a sensitive cartography of the everyday, the invisible, and the imagined.

“The angle of sunlight is a little steeper in Barcelona than in Taipei.”
Yuchi Hsiao’s In This Moment transforms the intimate observation of sunlight into a ritual act that reveals how the everyday, often unnoticed—a slanting ray, an advancing shadow—can activate a poetic and migratory memory.

Pablo Méndez‘s Folds expands this sensitivity into the realm of the abstract, where nature takes on a presence in matter, revealing the “folds” of what surrounds us; revealing almost invisible elements that compose a whole, interweaving the limits of the perceptible and the imaginable.

Finally, Hou Lam Tsui‘s Hangnail disrupts the contemplative mood of the previous works with an incisive critique: it dismantles the narratives that romanticize female death in visual culture, exposing the mechanisms of power that dictate which memories are worthy, which bodies are representable, and which fictions are normalized.

Together, the works create a landscape in which light not only illuminates but reveals, a shadow that not only conceals but connects, and the image not only represents but denounces.

The Secuencia de Inútiles space joins the 18th edition of the PROYECTOR Festival, expressing a political urgency, a collective perception.
