The project wants to emphasize the links that can be established between these images as well as reading these links with the tools provided in the “affective turn” coined by Patricia Clough. It pretends to rebuild the interstices between these images, paying special attention to the significance of affections. From visualizing all these affective links, we can rebuild a community, which is definitely the most faithful image of the gallery project.

Displays of Affection II is conceived as two exhibition moments. The former works as cartography of the past that allows a balance of the trajectory (cartographing the memory), while the latter proposes a future hypothesis as a responsibility for its continuity (imagine the future). Both are understood as representations for the activation of ideas and relationships that enable the continuous enriching of the forthcoming future.
