In the words of Juan De Andrés Arias, curator of the exhibition: MOVE FAST AND BREAK THINGS: CUIR(Z) proposes a representation of new contemporary subjectivities. The photographic images and photobooks exhibited emphasize the construction of gender, with a focus on non-binary identities, and on epistemologies that rethink modern Western hegemony, as well as the spaces that shape it, with a marked physical-digital (phygital) character. These new modes of subjectivation are led by a generation known as Z, who view urban space as an extension of the digital realm, where they continue to produce themselves through a screen that (dis)affects and (de)constructs them.

                Generation Z (people born between 1997 and 2012) is characterized by young bodies affected by various ailments, such as the depressive hedonism noted by English philosopher Mark Fisher. He defines this disaffection as the inability to do anything other than seek pleasure, a drift of desire towards melancholic spaces with desaturated tones. On the other hand, the urban environment navigates between the physical and the digital (phygital).
