Jordi Canal-Soler (Barcelona, 1977) looks at a map and sees things that other people cannot see. “All of this is the Polynesian triangle, which is very large. From New Zealand to Easter Island, Hawaii... These are giant distances. We see a very large sea, but the local peoples saw communication routes. As if they were highways on the sea,” he says. “I really like the entire era of explorations. When Captain James Cook sailed here to understand the world, he was one of the first Westerners to reach many of these islands. And he discovered that all of them, even though we're talking about the largest expanse of water on the planet, shared the same culture. The language and way of life are similar, as if they were the Romance languages of here. That is to say, the local peoples navigated these waters,” he explains.
