In 2008 The Dos Equis Series presents a travelling solo show by Paulina del Paso. The show will be presented first in London in September, followed by Mexico City in Spring 2009.
Wish I were here is an exhibition about childhood memories, a journey towards the past, at once a creative and reconstructive process, as well as an inner voyage in search of the fears and joys that form our tender years.
The exhibition consists of a body of newly commissioned work based in and around the metaphorical house of childhood memory, with every room or space representing a separate memory or feeling recalled through that distant unknown, remembered gate.*
The spectator is submerged into this world and led by the hand into a condition of complete simplicity* regressing back to another time, another place, another self: And the end of all our exploring / Will be to arrive where we started / And know the place for the first time.*
Katri Walker, Curator
