Toni Serra *) Abu Ali was not only one of the most relevant authors and video artists of his generation, but also a co-founder of the Observatory of Unidentified Video. Above all, he was an explorer and seeker of light within a contemporary mysticism, accustomed to diving into the waters of audiovisual and poetic peripheries. His work and life bear witness to an attitude of honest commitment to our time.
The book Abrir la Visión brings together a collection of writings by collaborators, accomplices, and various friends from a rich and heterogeneous community. The intention was to weave voices together to trace a journey that crosses all kinds of spiritual and aesthetic landscapes: from Barcelona in the late eighties, we travel to New York in the nineties, and from there we walk toward Marrakech in the early two-thousands. Through his illustrations, Miguel Brieva gives form to this vital and artistic journey, endowing it with the tone of a legend that, paradoxically, feels very close.
The presentation of the book Abrir la Visión will be conducted by its coordinators and editors, Palmar Álvarez-Blanco and Gabriel Villota , with the participation of the Observatory of Unidentified Video .
The book has been published by La Vorágine and is now available for online purchase You can buy it directly from their website and also through La Central Bookstore .
