Each of the exhibitions in the series Mirror Becomes a Razor When It’s Broken features a specific activity that functions as another layer of meaning in each of the projects by the artists taking part in it. For Life of O. by Lúa Coderch, we invited Julia Spínola to take a personal tour through matter and objects based on reference points that may (or may not) be connected to her artistic practice.
