In the shifting terrain of contemporary life—where bodies are mediated through memory, screens, and inherited narrative—identity emerges not as a fixed state but as a continuously negotiated field. Cave unfolds from this premise: an exhibition that considers embodiment as mutable, porous, and in constant revision. The show brings together Blanca del Olmo, Elena Garrigolas, Tahmina Negmat, Roser Oliveras, and Agnes Questionmark—five artists whose distinct yet resonant practices probe how the body endures, disintegrates, and is remade.

The title Cave originates from Blanca del Olmo’s drawings, where the artist invokes the cave as a psychological metaphor for maternity: a space of retreat, isolation, and metamorphosis. Within del Olmo’s lexicon, the cave oscillates between refuge and confinement—both protective and suffocating. It becomes a site where the maternal subject negotiates the simultaneous production and erasure of her own agency. Working across analog and digital processes—sculpture, digital fabrication, augmented reality—del Olmo interrogates the instability of motherhood itself: the thresholds between intimacy and disappearance, between continuity and dissolution. The cave, for her, is not simply a womb-like shelter but a metaphor for the social architectures that frame femininity, domesticity, and the impossibility of fully representing maternal experience.
