Caminar en un mundo de espejos

In front of the mirror, even the loneliest of monologues is, in reality, a dialogue. Reflecting on it, as well as hitting it, is the beginning of learning. That is what Andrés Barba proposes in this revealing collection of autobiographical articles and essays, a journey that reflects from triggers as diverse as the first photograph, the theft of the car in childhood, a reading in a women’s prison in the old East Berlin, Cassius Clay confronting his own blackness or Diane Arbus to his fascination with monsters, solitary characters in the world who respond, facing the interpellant of his own image.
