The migratory journey is a complex experience in which the subject faces a crisis for political, social or cultural reasons and lives in an intense trance with space; whether it is the one he leaves, the one he travels through, the one he longs for or the one he arrives at.
The various pieces that make up “Exodus” explore the collective imagery built upon the journey—referring to the experience of migration—delving into aspects such as transit, the route, and the construction of territory. It is a reflection on the loss of what is one's own, of intimacy, of identity. It is an invitation to ponder, wander, and explore the figure of exodus through a series of domestic objects found randomly one morning in an urban space.

The discovery of these slides, scanned and digitally processed, gives them a new life, a new value, a new meaning. A series of documents found discarded on the sidewalk of a street in Valencia. A mere coincidence that invites us to delve into a private, domestic archive and investigate the wreckage. A quasi-archaeological process that constructs a story from lives shamelessly exposed to passersby. Lives that were gradually filled in through the impossible gaps left by their photographs, based on small, disjointed transcriptions that led to Mexico. Their story, theirs, has allowed us to stage and fictionalize our own.

The photographic pieces are accompanied by a small artist's book—whose title, as its name suggests, corresponds to the second book of the Bible—Exodus, a traditional text that narrates the enslavement of the Hebrews in ancient Egypt and their liberation through Moses, who led them to the promised land. We appropriate these ancient scriptures and bring to the present a literary work that remains ever-present in its theme of migratory flows: the exodus never ceases to haunt us. A refuge, a place where people leave behind one life and yearn for a new one.
