Monica van Asperen’s images are metaphorical references to clothing and to architecture. She combines photography, space, object and sound, while exploring the body’s limitations through play and ritual.

Luis Lindner’s work draws from the 19th century painting of Argentina, while the video work of Leticia El Halli Obeid has a close connection to music and writing.
