What can result from the meeting of the Spanish painter Enrique Marty with the legendary artist from Baguio, Kidlat Tahimik? Wolves at the Door. Cosmic Encounters is a proposal by the artist Marty, a project partially born during his visit to the Philippines and meeting with Kidlat Tahimik. It is made specifically for the Instituto Cervantes de Manila, and based on a work in progress that he has been undertaking since 2013, in the form of short video-essays entitled All your world is pointless, in which Marty condenses his philosophical views on art, the world and humanity; and which serve, in most cases, as a starting point for a larger work.
