Batería de Cenizas. Methaphors of Defence
Lisa Le Feuvre
Mediterranean has become a part of everyday life, informed by a belief in a different, perhaps better, place on the opposite side of the sea. This gaze is echoed in Rosell Meseguer´s images that look through the slits of defence buildings along the harbour and coast of Cartagena on the Spanish Peninsula that were last used in combat during the Spanish Civil War but now are abandoned and isolated from transport links providing a panoramic gaze.

The ruins of the memory and the fortification of the subject (some ideas related to Rosell Meseguer)
Fernando Castro Flórez
Traducción: Claudia de la Peña McTigue & Rosell Meseguer
“Cain’s house in the Enoch’ steppes is the beginning of the “blockhouse”, built according to protection scales and the needs of the new life, imaginary ruins that hardly sketch some design. Its ground plan is an alegory of the tomb, where sometimes stretches out as a labyrinth and a shelter for life. If chance decides it that way .
Zizek has pointed out that between the antagonisms that represent our time, the antagonism between abstraction which is more and more determinant in our lives, and the storm of pseudoconcrete images could have a key place. If we can understand the abstraction as a progressive self-discovery of the basis of art language, in a process of a particular de-pictorialization, we would also have to understand that in this process we find the core of the modern times. In a chaothic world one of the “exits” can be to get into the crypt or to camouflage oneself, avoid being naked in the open.
Battery of Cenizas - Defence Methology II 1999-2005
Rosell Meseguer
After the Second World War, during Roosevelt’ s Presidency, the director of the Research and Science Development Office, Vannevar Bush, issued a report titled: Science, the Frontier without End. In this report, Mr. Bush talked about how defence strategies were put into practice in daily life. Vannevar, justified the need of military research to improve social welfare. One of the most outstanding improvements was the invention of the radar and its later use in everyday life.
This new eye, the radar, was able to detect submarines, which were first invented by Isaac Peral (Cartagena – Spain). Submarines constituted yet another element of military science that could be deactivated and detected by the radar.

Work
From 2004 to 2006 I have been creating, retrieving, projecting and appropriating images that create a dialogue between the opposing shores of the Mediterranean sea, the Spanish and the Italian one. A mirror of reflection between Spain and Italy, that meant business and social ways, a history of ports and ships, trade, differences and similarities.

Roma versus Carthagonova - 2004-2006
Rosell Meseguer
Since 2004 till 2006 I have been creating, proyecting and acumulating images that would make a dialogue between the Italian and the Spanish Mediterranean coast. A mirrow that leaded to comercial and social ways, a history of harbours and ships. As a tracker, I visited the Mountain Testaccio ruins, actually a fashion quartier of the Città Eterna built by bunches of tesseras, emerging from the land to the sky. They were the rests of the antique packings of oil and wine; fragments of sea salt and land.
Fragments of the personal diary, Rome 2005
ROMA VERSUS CARTHAGONOVA: ARQUEOLOGÍA DE LA MEMORIA
Wendy Navarro
The journey obsession, the constant “tracking” of areas, manipulating its enclaves - historical, visual- remembering that childhood mine, as a way of approaching to oneself, is often a necessary and recurrent eagerness to provide evidence. Different interpretations of the world that would let “see further”, reveal links, hidden and unexplorated ways. Maybe, “find another definition of site-transit, where the real and the virtual map superimpose, endlessly holding
Work
In India, the city's public spaces are used on numerous occasions to carry out tasks that West would consider to be part of private life: cooking, shaving, peeing, sleeping ... living.
Delhi Delights, is the slogan of a travel agency in India, based in Delhi -the administrative center- the capital. The tour shows three possible trips, one that leads us to the monumental India, one that immerses us in the immortal India and a third one that runs through contemporary India.
