Relatar un viaje, cuando volvimos hace un tiempo, no es nada fácil. Siempre hay una especie de resbalamiento en la cabeza, como si lo pasado se hubiera ido como el enjuague que cae con la ducha, como si “volver” fuera un corte de pelo con la memoria en las puntas.

Recounting a trip you returned from some time ago is no piece of cake. There is always a sort of slip of the head, as if the past had slid down the shower drain, as if “returning” was a haircut with memory at the tips. This is why sometimes keeping a journal is an advantage, or if none exists, having been more or less consistent with the uploading of photos and thoughts to cyberspace—this dematerialized place we so inhabit—could also work. There we can search for what was said and seen—to avoid repetition or to invoke it—: to live up in the clouds.

In cocktails and inaugurations, people are talking about P2P (Contemporary Practices in Spanish Photography). Many recommend attending the exhibition, one of the highlights of PHotoEspaña 2014. “More than twenty artists are in it; will I see you at the opening?” asks Jesús, a photographer friend exhibiting at the Círculo de Bellas Artes. “Sure, see you tonight!” I reply, drink in hand, from the Botanical Garden.
