Territories in Transit / Solo Duo: Anna Talens and Mar Guerrero

This exhibition invites us to think of the sea not as a boundary, but as a territory: a living, ever-changing body where cartography dissolves and borders are defined not by fixed lines, but by currents, tides and temporal rhythms. Far from a mere liquid horizon, the sea appears as an unstable geography – a space that cannot be walked upon, yet sustains the movement of bodies, memories and materials.

In this inversion of perspective, the liquid becomes the norm and the solid the exception. Blue is no longer a background, but a structure; the terrestrial ceases to occupy the centre. From this logic, the sea stops being landscape or romantic metaphor and becomes a contemporary territory, charged with political, historical, aesthetic and affective dimensions.

The works of Mar Guerrero and Anna Talens inhabit this threshold, where the sea is understood not only as nature, but as an archive of experiences and resonances.

Mar Guerrero works with residual materials from the ocean – eroded plastics, driftwood – which she collects and transforms into sculptural objects. In her hands, these remnants cease to be waste and become witnesses to transit, pollution and resistance. Each piece retains the memory of its marine journey, proposing an aesthetic where beauty emerges from what is discarded, inviting reflection on our relationship with the environment.

Anna Talens, by contrast, approaches the horizon as a perceptual and spiritual experience. Her works explore the boundary between the visible and the invisible, between what expands and what fades. In her practice, the horizon is not a vanishing point, but a moving presence that structures the gaze and embodies the possibility of the unattainable.

Both artists inhabit the fold between the material and the immaterial, between the terrestrial and the abyssal. The sea becomes mirror and threshold: a surface of transit and a space of symbolic depth. Before it, the gaze does not shrink; it opens. This exhibition invites viewers to dwell in that ambiguity, recognising in the unfathomable sea the possibility of imagining new ways of being and seeing the world.
