The camera's eye returns obsessively to the same places, a vertical perspective that imposes control, the possession of archaeological sites, and stones lying for thousands of years in the desert. The places it observes, however, are not deserted: we see as if glimpsed from afar, the peasants working the land, themselves transformed into the landscape. Something disturbs the stillness of the place: explosions on land and in the sea prepare the ground for new cities with new names, and new forests. This landscape is transformed into a scenography of appropriation.

Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
Martín Zapater y Clavería, born in Zaragoza on November 12th 1747, came from a family of modest merchants and was taken in to live with a well-to-do aunt, Juana Faguás, and her daughter, Joaquina de Alduy. He studied with Goya in the Escuelas Pías school in Zaragoza from 1752 to 1757 and a friendship arose between them which was to last until the death of Zapater in 1803.
