Esther Ferrer

FONS ÀUDIO #1 offers a look back over her career from her beginnings with the Zaj Group to reflections on the passing of time, touching on her working methods, creative processes and commenting on her works “Íntimo y personal” and “Silla Zaj”, both of which form part of the MACBA Collection.
