Trataré de recordar de que hemos hablado. Llevaré este recuerdo entre las manos como una llamita palpitante y procuraré que no se apague. Porque es posible que comprenda que esa luz la ha encendido otra luz que es grande y de una intensidad inconcebible. Y eso ha de ser para mi una señal y una lucidez, una esperanza y una razón suficiente. Ingmar Bergman Cuaderno de Trabajo I 55-74

(…) “this exhibition focuses on a different layer of the project—the constellation of materials that informed Agony in the Garden. Through a curated selection of reference images, sketches, notes, and visual studies, visitors are invited to explore the foundations of Ribeira’s process: the intersection between intuition and research, image and thought, gesture and form.
To accompany the show, Kominek and Lúa Ribeira present a limited edition of five books, conceived as an extension of this reflective space. Each book revisits the reference side of Agony in the Garden, proposing a dialogue between process and image, and inviting viewers to look beyond the finished photograph toward the intricate act of its making”
