The exhibition, curated by Dr. Beate Kemfert, director of Opelvillen Rüsselsheim, is presented as part of Spain's Guest of Honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Through an outstanding selection of works by the versatile artist Esther Ferrer, including photographs, models and videos, she reviews iconic works and documents her long career as a performer, especially her approach to the Fluxus movement, initiated in Germany. The exhibition includes the performance that gives it its title Les voy a Cuenta mi vida / Je vais vous raconter ma vie / I'll tell you my life which shows the passage of time.
