In — U – Turn [I], Juliana Herrero traces a delicate thread between memory, reflection, and transformation. A cat drifts through a dreamlike underwater corridor inside a time capsule — a visual poem shaped by analogue-digital collage, rhythm, and floating text. The voice of the swimmer, the artist, freedom, and intention echo quietly beneath the surface on the other side of this journey, where music enters a glass box. The cat appears exactly at the corner where once only words hinted at its presence. This new loop — silent, colorful, and alive with emotional intelligence — expands Herrero’s Habitat into a multiverse of soft encounters and imagined returns: where the ethereal meets the embodied, merging the cyborg, the natural, and the artefact we all inhabit, and where meaning and process unfold between the lines.
