Las líneas de la mano

The title of the exhibition Las líneas de la mano is inspired by one of Julio Cortázar’s short stories in which a line travels through a city and finally shelters in the hand of an individual who is about to shoot himself in the head. In the story, Cortázar imagines spaces that could be brought together by a line that moves forward by camouflaging itself with the things that cross its path; the line is, at once, a sketch on a piece of paper, a solid body, and a mark in the palm of a hand.
