X-RAY, RADIOGRAPHY OF AN INTERNAL LANDSCAPE
Jordi Camell, piano

Can a state of mind be x-rayed?

Yes, at least from the art perspective.

This would be the aim: to transmit radiographies / internal landscapes of all that is intangible and that can only be devoted through an abstract and personal language.

An x-ray is not an analysis, but the image of a non palpable reality. It is possible that the meticulous observation of it leads us to another different state of mind. Therefore, the fact of showing our state of mind will inevitably manipulate our neighbor's.

X-Ray, radiography of an internal landscape proposes an approximation to the decoding of an internal world. The image hits us, the music enters towards our gravity center: an amiable and brave gaze of our soul.

Mònica Sans, video-art and scenic space:

You can x-ray a state of mind? This is the question that Jordi made me Camell while presenting me the project. I have not been able to reply to him to as a psychologist, but I was convinced to be able to give him visual answers.

Feeling someone else's emotion is not easy. It requires a long time: listening, watching, contemplating. Synchronizing. How much time can we devote to others while we can hardly find some for ourselves?

X-Ray, radiography of an internal landscape, expects to generate into the auditor empathy enough to perceive interpreter's feelings. The images fit in the show accompany the pianist and the listener towards a dream world, evoking them towards a contemplation state that has the infinity sign: the intimate immensity.

«The world is big, but in us it is as deep as the sea» Rainer Maria Rilke.

Let's devote it some time.
