The endless universe
Albarrán Cabrera is a photo art duo composed of Angel Albarrán and Anna Cabrera, based in Barcelona, Spain. Their artistic practice stems from multiple cultural references in literature, painting, film, science, and philosophy, bringing together both occidental and oriental perspectives of seeing and understanding the world around us.
Albarrán Cabrera, The Mouth Of Krishna (2016) #405
The Mouth of Krishna is Albarrán Cabrera’s first solo exhibition in Portugal, and the artworks selected present a subtle yet striking range of visual poetics that transport viewers to a universe of enchanting places and timeless moments.

The title of the exhibition, and of the series presented in it, was extracted from a traditional tale of Hindu culture in which young Krishna, the supreme god of protection, compassion, and love, gets his mouth examined by his mother, only to reveal in it the complete endless universe – all the stars and planets; all the lands and seas; all ideas and all emotions; all pity and all hope, along with the ultimate realisation that in any part of the universe there is a whole universe. In this sense, the exhibition delves into different perceptions of reality and belonging, ultimately provoking the notions of dreams and memory and their ability to shape who we are and our understanding of own experience.
