The exhibition The other side is completed with a series of audiovisual interviews with Eurídice Cabañes (philosopher), Evru (artist), Josep Maria Fericgla (anthropologist), Júlia Carreras (researcher), Miquel Bassols (psychoanalyst), Miquel Missé (sociologist) and Núria Martínez-Vernis (poet).
Seven voices relate different perspectives on the other side: psychoanalysis, digitalisation, the transit of gender, art, magic, death and poetry converge in the idea that there are many and multiple other sides, and that passing through them helps us to better understand the increasingly misty place we call reality.
The interviews can be seen on display on the first floor of the centre and also in a more extended version online:
