From mistake to event

This Arts & Artists contribution addresses the concept of `poor image', coined by the German artist Hito Steyerl. I intend to link it with the development of artistic practices based on the use of ordinary materials and images, which are not created with the pretensions of becoming artworks but as a result of a social context. For this, I will delve into the ability to speculate with alternative scenarios in the work of authors such as Jon Mikel Euba or Erlea Maneros Zabala, but I will also review my own activity as an artist. In fact, more than simply describing the use of poor images, I propose to relate them to a situation of displacement: my own, living in Sweden but researching the minoritization of Galician culture in Spain.
