In these peculiar times, we are thrust back into ourselves in a kind of suspension: one in which only private life exists yet threatens to become trivial through a sense of mutual, overarching dread.
Lent from award-winning writer Kate Cayley is built from this tension, exploring domestic and artistic life amidst the environmental crisis, and the surprising ways that every philosophical quandary-large and small-converges in the home, in small objects,...

En Playas de Fuego el mar no habla la lengua de los muertos. El mar representa la clausura de la palabra, el espacio donde queda encerrado el discurso, constituyéndose solo como el reflejo y rebote del cielo, pura ilusión. En la poesía de Bárbara, el mar es el espacio de la indistinción, un desierto de la palabra, la mudez absoluta. La muerte no es la física, sino la muerte de la voz. El aliento se expande en la superficie y desaparece...
