The first word I learned to say is guaita. My paternal grandmother would take me for a walk in the trolley, and as we wandered around she would point at things with her finger and say: “Guaita Laia, guaita!”. She spoke a particular Catalan, she would say guaita instead of mira (look at). Guaitar means to watch carefully, analysing what is observed. Vigilant. Jo guaito 👀️

Laia Miret (b. 1987, Terrassa) films, photographs, performs, designs, writes poetry and braids recycled fabrics.

She has obtained a Master’s degree diploma at the RCA (London, UK). Before this, she worked as creative and art director in the advertising and media industries. After years of questioning current visual cultures, she decided to study and develop her artistic practice to explore the politics of the contemporary digital image. Her recent production analyses and alters present systems to set aesthetic and critical narratives that occur between reality and fiction.
