A gathering of disconnected elements – mainly drawings, but also different plastic expressions, photographs and other objects – with the purpose of relating them and stimulating future projects.

The relationships that are established between the different drawings and the collected objects are compared to maps, since suggestions of procedural directions become visible through the exchanges that take place between them: the drawings point out directions. In a certain set of drawings, recurring pattens or themes emerge and will dissipate unless they are fixed. The drawings appear like maps that are perpetually renewed and that are only determined through future procedural choices.
