Malakkai

(Spain, 1981)

In The trip we don’t want to do, Malakkai addresses the efforts we want to avoid by remaining inert, like the character in the grounded boat. Contradictorily, we expect a prosperous future, represented by the forward-moving floating face and sea creatures.

“In this painting, life is a ship. You need to go with the flow and follow the tide, but your cowardice causes you to get stuck.” / Malakkai
