Pilar Albarracín’s art project La calle de los pasos perdidos (The street of lost steps) sets out to reflect on the theories of justice in the context of the current spiritual, social and economic crisis.
The former court of justice and Salle des Illustres of Lectoure, located on the Via Podiensi – the most important and oldest of the pilgrims’ ways to Santiago in France – is showing a selection of landscapes and events that have occurred over time and which allow viewers to reinterpret history through metaphor and, accordingly, lead us to reflect on the present.
Since 1990, the municipality of Lectoure has opened part of its architectural heritage to contemporary art creation, though it is really outdoors, in the space of transit and exchange, where the collective hope of a new renaissance of values through artistic intervention is beginning to take shape.
The exhibition refers both to the path trodden by pilgrims wishing to profess their faith or to make amends for a sin, according to religious practice, or even in gratitude for the granting of requests, and to the street and what it represents nowadays as a vehicle of contemporary transformation where ‘lost steps’ begin to find a meaning and direction.
For this project Pilar Albarracín works with photography, video and installation, also including already produced works and new works.
