The extensive work of the German thinker also includes, in a scattered manner, notes, descriptions and references to his dream world. Recurring images such as the moon, waves, women, etc. have inspired Gemma Romero Goday in the creation of these twenty works that make up the Dreams project. The artist mainly uses the watercolor technique, although in some work she combines it with collage.
The shadows, the nocturnal landscapes, some human figures and the almost always presence of the moon make up this original artistic interpretation of a little-known part of the philosopher's legacy.
A reading of the Auschwitz Trilogy and a visit to the tomb of Primo Levi in Turin led Alexandra Genís to conceive this project that reflects on the link between the death of the Piedmontese writer and his writing. The author herself uses charcoal, black ink, white ink, bleach or lemon juice on different types of paper.
Synagogues represented in the lithographs had been landmarks in the landscape of many cities. They were an architectural and cultural heritage, but they were destroyed, or transformed for other uses. Although some photographs have been preserved and there are artworks of depicting them, most of them exist only in memory.
"Synagogues, architectures of memory" evokes those spaces that, in the past, welcomed Jewish communities from all over Europe. The exhibition follow their traces and travels, with them, the paths of a collective history and memory.

Im Zentrum der Ausstellung steht das fotografische Werk der jüdischen Künstlerin Lette Valeska, die als Valeska Heynemann 1885 in Braunschweig geboren wurde und 1985 in Los Angeles verstarb.
1937 in die USA emigriert, machte Valeska 1938 die Fotografie zu ihrem Beruf. Hollywood-Stars waren ihre bevorzugten Motive.
