MOLTES VIDES
Joan Escolà Pujol
Moltes vides is an artist's book in which the author confronts contemporary art (in this case, their own work) with art from millennia ago, what was formerly called primitive or prehistoric art. The author also appropriates this art, making it their own and breaking down the barriers of space and time.
Moltes vides is a truly captivating artistic proposal that seeks to transcend temporal and spatial boundaries to create a dialogue between contemporary art and prehistoric art. Through this artist's book, the author not only confronts two distant artistic periods but also appropriates prehistoric art, making it an integral part of their own work.
This appropriation is a powerful act that challenges traditional conceptions of art and its evolution. The author does not observe the past from a distant perspective but rather makes it their own, weaving a deep connection between the present and the remote. In this way, Many Lives erases prejudices, inviting us to reflect on the universality of art and its ability to connect with us regardless of our time or culture.
