Todavía siempre [Still Always] brings together a selection of artworks from the last 10 years for which Laía Argüelles Folch (Zaragoza, 1986) developed a methodology of thought and composition based on her research and work with materials found in flea markets, curiosity shops and second-hand book shops around the world. Fascinated by the potential of images and languages as a means to relate to the world, here the artist uses mounting, binding and unbinding techniques to broach notions such as materiality, collection and repetition. The artworks materialize this fascination for the nature of images and their capacity to propose possible futures, as well as pointing to a structurization of meanings that are neither univocal nor definitory, but rather open, mobile and sensitive.

This exhibition focusses on the image as a presence rather than a representation, on the translatability from image to body and on identification (im)possibilities. Via a search for images interplaying with a search for meaning, Todavía siempre delves into the use of the imagination as a tool for building knowledge and for enriching our ability to conceive reality.
