Brief

‘Something that interests me greatly is the concealed vulnerability behind an immaculate space. My installation work includes some of these elements. It's a bit like that mental exercise we play sometimes, when we look up and wonder what hides behind the windows of the proudest, tallest skyscraper. Describe something you have witnessed or you would like to witness and make it into an action story.’

Incentive

The winner will have the opportunity to spend a day with Ana Laura in her studio in Madrid.
