Apnea. An evening of free diving.

Halfway between fetishism and accumulation, book collecting is, like any other collecting, a personal and subjective practice. Each book in a collection tells the story of why it is there, while at the same time telling us about the person who decided to make it so. With the intention of aesthetically and conceptually exploring his collection, but also of constructing a blurred self-portrait through his interests, the publisher and bookseller Luis Cerveró shares in a public presentation some of the publications in his library. For the occasion, the founder of the publishing house Terranova invites the musician and visual artist Arnau Sala to accompany him, generating live improvised music in dialogue with the books, replacing words and concrete explanations with a more abstract and evocative language that captures the mystery implicit in every collecting gesture.
