As part of the exhibition Close Enough, Lúa Ribeira presents her latest book, Agony in the Garden. In her second monograph, the series was created in the outskirts of Spanish cities in close collaboration with young people from contemporary countercultures.
Ribeira's images move between documentary observation and allegorical imagery, reflecting the alienation, uncertainty, and contradictions of our present. In a landscape that feels both contemporary and timeless, her protagonists emerge as figures of a global, hybrid moment. Gestures, symbols, and aesthetics allude to digital influences, overproduction, precarity, and an atmosphere of latent crisis—but also to energy, the search for meaning, and community. The artist will be present and offer insights into the project's genesis and the book's creation.
