A group show curated by Alicia Chillida, at La Casa Encendida in Madrid.
The show was in three sections: Photo landscape, Video landscape and Video installations. I took part in Video landscape with my work "no time to fall". I thought it was an unusually well-curated and well-installed exhibition. It contained a large amount of works, but it made sense and they all worked well together. Roni Horn made a great performance at the opening.
