Martin Jacobson creates collages assembled by images she finds in antique rakes and selected according to their interests and myths.

Martin Jacobson's journey begins in Stockholm and has as its final destination Murcia.
The main part of the exhibition is an installation of three parts entitled 'The Traveller's Guide to the Other Side.
The system consists of a two-dimensional wall drawing, mirrors that are perceived both as three-dimensional and two-dimensional sculpture.
These elements have a picture together staged.
A theater with a backdrop and props.

Covering the entire apse of the old church of Verona, the wall drawing is a monumental work done in situ after a month of work by black and white Jacobson.
It contains a "collage" of images that is referenced to an earlier work of the artist and the Museum (Museum), in which the bones of an elephant is framed in an architecture surrounded by countless skeletons of various animals.
In the nave stands the emptying of the carcass of a estegodón, extinct species of elephant, life size.
