"La place entre les murs" (2017) consists of 40 repeated black-and-white silver gelatin prints and a small piece of silver extracted from the photographic fixer. The image, taken aboard the ship that carried the artist’s family from Argentina to Spain after the 1976 military coup, becomes a meditation on displacement and the materiality of exile.
By repeating the same photograph, Lagomarsino searches for a punctum – a visceral, emotional core within the image—while the extracted silver literalizes the process of memory being fixed, preserved, or lost. The work becomes both a personal and political exploration of migration, rupture, and the traces left behind.
