We are opening an exhibition in Pamplona-Iruña! The place is the Al Norte del Sur bookshop café of the Plaza Consistorial, the town hall square here in Pamplona. So anyone who is in the area can come and have a look at the series of 5 photos we have prepared, in transfer on wood, accompanied by a story.

This series tries to bring us closer to the spirit of adventure, using what the images themselves convey and what the short story itself extols; reflection and self-reflection on the path of life.

Mikel Elguezábaowner of the coffee bookshop, passionate, poet writer, threw down the gauntlet to us a few months ago and since then we have been working on the series that can be visited today in the establishment. It has been a process (very artisanal) of encounter and contact with wood, with the hands, and untangling of the mind.

Here are some photos of part of the process and the exhibition itself.

All adventures begin with a first step. Ours (Kike and Edu's) was no less; that was the beginning of 'Travesía Pirenaica', and we wanted to bring you closer to that moment, back in 2011, when an idea became a project.

The preparation of this exhibition also began with a 'first step', that of picking up a pen and paper and starting to pull the thread. A whole process of encountering thoughts, sensations, reflections, emotions, and the experience lived, of course, in these mountains.

5 images transferred to wood, in a manual process, which evokes the meditative reflection of the moments and experiences encountered in these mountains: the Pyrenees.
