As they searched for old photos in the drawers of the room, the artists spent months sharing the stories told by their mothers and grandmothers, and they all ended in bed. They thus gather the memories of their families, landscapes and moments that have shaped them before being who they are.
Eskoitza, Albéniz, Arrasate, Donosti; they were in a bedroom in Bilbao. Starting from their childhood, through the youth of their mothers, they reached backed to the experiences of their Aitxitxe and Amoñi (grandfather and grandmother). Two different spaces can be seen in the bed. Seeking affection in detachment, they built the room using items found in the street, as well as at home: drawers, for example, came from nights spent in the street, and those nights also had much to tell.
So many stories still to be written, so many new ensuing stories.
