"(Luskentyre beach's) character is caught by Javier Vidal Aguilera, who exhibits 99 small prints. They are derived from photographs of seaweed traces. (...) Something mysterious happens here, in the translation from digital photograph to monochrome print on semi-transparent paper. The observed natural debris has become a mysterious calligraphy."
