walk or fall presents a series of life-size sculptures of children traversing a landscape of exile. The figures represent minors forced to cross long paths marked by war and violence. As they move forward, other bodies are left behind: friends, siblings, fragments of their childhood. Life and death coexist on stage. The installation reveals the terrible imprint that this experience leaves on their minds: the constant fear of being next, the total uncertainty and a loss so profound that it destroys childhood and fractures the fabric of future society.
Jimena Lucas is a visual artist and performer. His work addresses themes such as exile, childhood and loss from a poetic and critical perspective. He has developed the project “The children of exile”, with more than 20 exhibitions scheduled in cities such as Barcelona, Madrid, Girona and Seville. His installations, made from real migrant children’s clothes, combine sculpture, memory and social protest. Lives and works in Manresa.
