For the 2024 edition of LOOP Festival Barcelona, Robert Wilson’s Video Portrait of Gao Xingjian (HF Video, 2005), writer and 2000 Nobel Laureate in Literature, enters a visual dialogue with a work by Xingjian himself, “Lumière” (Ink on canvas, 2015). Complemented by Wilson’s “Messiah” drawings (Charcoal on paper, 2020), the exhibition at galeria SENDA invites the viewer to an experience of slow and reflective contemplation. In a world of rapid stimuli and fleeting images, it forces us to stop, to feel each small gesture, to observe and to appreciate the power of subtlety in art.
