As Alexis Ravelo says (the coordinator of every detail during this editorial process) “Is an intimate trip and collective at the same time. A piece of art from 10 different authors from different generations and aesthetics orientations which have chosen to tell the story of the island from many aspects of reality far away from the informatic applications, because these are completely incapable of suffering, enjoying, loving or be loved, to perdure a feeling in powerful words or a picture to be gifted to the world”.
Ten fictions, ten illustrations which are the spiritual map from this island.
