This exhibition attempts to create an uncanny and mysterious world where animal and object have taken power over the human. The mechanical animal, a hybrid vegetation has taken over the world, a dimension in a timeless void or a vision of the future. The intention here is to show the interpenetration of different realities such as life and death, day and night, dreams and reality, human and animal, man and nature. In this world the differences between reason and imagination, human and fantastical creatures, past and present, will dissolve until they disappear.

Here lies the phantasm of a lost paradise! Inhabited by ghostly creatures, real and imaginary animals, this world thrives in those places where life runs wild. Where everything looks, sounds, smells, and tastes with heightened intensity. Where nature dictates human rhythm. Where people are reduced to relying on their bodily instincts, and hybrid bestiary or language as we know it has all but disappeared. It’s a window acting as a threshold between inside and outside; the dialectics of the various shades between light and darkness; the latent presence of the animal, the fable, and the coexistence of these two parallel worlds, each one ready to overwhelm the other; the game as an existential condition. It’s a setting where lights and desires cross paths. The desire to communicate with the indivisible in the darkness, or in memory, or in the future. Surrounded in this darkness, we become insects instinctively drawn to lights.
