'You take paths blindly, but, guided by your beating heart, you will always find beneficial destinations. Here in the exhibition, the anonymous narrator is right at the door and draws a route. There are several stops on it. You can, between different little chapels, sit down and enjoy dreaming again. The works recover fabrics and stories, maps and photos, events that are glued together in a confusing, inverted, insoluble timeline. And all the better because you can then recover them and make sense of them. your own way.' excerpt from show text

...and the last from Goth Galicia doors etc...for now...

...doors are the most important places. The Roman god Janus guarded them and looked both ways with his head facing back and front...to the past and future. He is the oldest of gods from the time of Romulus and Remus. He is the god of doors, portals, passageways and transitions - concrete and abstract, life/death, beginning/end, youth/adulthood, rural/urban, war/peace. Transformations and shifts. He ruled over all life changes, birth, death, harvest, planting, seasons, new beginnings. He held the key to heaven. Janus was celebrated first before any other god at all ceremonies. 

Goth as a state of mind and Gothic architecture - more photographs of doors and portals photographed in Galicia, an area of Visigoth, Moor, Romanesque, local and Roman influences...
