UN goals
With law I learned abstract thinking from a very materialistic perspective. You never work only with the pure idea, everything must have a translation into reality. A type of thinking that has suited me very well for working in art
Biography
Lúa Coderch gathers the questions that guide our lives and methodically translates them into text, images, objects, and situations. She offers a reinvestigation of those concepts that are both historical and personal, such as the ideas of shelter and heartbreak, confronting the viewer to a new perception. Coderch’s installations, films, and drawings thus give a roadmap of reinterpretation.
