Hyperlocality. Personal Cartographies

A dirty monitor screen, a scratched desk, a mouse that follows the movement of the hand. It is from behind this desk – an inconspicuous anchor point – that we stay connected to the world.

The exhibition explores how Barcelona-based artists respond to constant mobility by focusing on their immediate surroundings. These practitioners document bodily movements through space, creating personal geographies and maps that ground them in overlapping physical, political, symbolic, and digital locations.

The artists attempt to find and locate themselves in the many overlapping locations (physical, political, symbolic, phygital and glocal) in which they simultaneously function.

The five participating artists—Pol Pinto, Carla Rebelo, Sejal Parekh, Ana Lucia Garcia Hoefken, and Lena Laguna Diel—each address hyperlocality through distinct approaches: virtual journeys documented through materiality, photographic explorations of migration and transit, collage-based archival practices, clay-based cartography, and references to liminal spaces between human and animal worlds.
