The end of the Spanish Civil War and of the Second World War suggest opposing worlds, radically different settings, but both have been built on wasteland; on pain, on ruins and on material and ethical debris which causes the absolute destruction of the war. And all of this takes place in complex living conditions: in exile, in migration, in repression. Mainly comprising works belonging to the IVAM collection, this exhibition contains a reading where, more than the differences in style, it considers the continuities, similarities, mutual echoes, shared efforts, where the weave of historical events is such that it is absolutely decisive in poetic, discursive, formal or stylistic decisions; in the way humanity looks at and thinks about itself.
