“The only true voyage, the only immersion in the Fountain of Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to see the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to see the hundred universes that each of them sees\u201d.<\/div>\n

We only have one set of eyes, our own. The universe of others \u2013the way they see the world\u2013 is forbidden to us, like the stickers in this picture that cover their faces, that hide their looks. The entirety of existence, the whole world, we can only look at (and interpret) from within ourselves, from our own eyes. How will we look, then, with the eyes of another? How could we look, for example, through the eyes of the poet M\u00e0rius Torres \u2013who gazes at us from the centre of this photograph\u2013 the author of the poem Uns ulls en un retaule (Eyes on an Altarpiece), who in Can\u00e7\u00f3 a Mahalta (A Song to Mahalta) writes “your look already speaks\u201d?<\/div>\n
With art, there is no other way. ” Through art alone are we able to emerge from ourselves, to know what another person sees of a universe which is not the same as our own and of which, without art, the landscapes would remain as unknown to us as those that may exist on the moon”, says Proust at the end of his novel\u00b9. There is only one reality, the one that science tries to decipher. However, the views of that reality are infinite, as many as there are people who live (and have lived) in this world. Each view is a entire universe; each work of art, a new world to view.<\/div>\n
