This is a selection of works that invite the viewer to reflect on the very concept of reflection. Questions are addressed related to reflection, contemplation, space, idea, and time.
Reflection, if derived from the Latin word reflectio, alludes to the highest functions of the spirit and designates the very process of thinking carefully about something with the purpose of drawing conclusions. However, if derived from Latin reflexus, it alludes to reflection, to the image of something that can be formed on a bright and smooth surface. But the reflection of a thing also means allowing itself to be seen in another, and projecting beyond appearance or even manifesting and making evident something that perhaps until now was hidden.
The purpose of the guided visit is to immerse the viewer in the work, making them a participant in it and inviting them to reflect with each artist through their particular way of questioning reality.

As a form of reflection, it invites the viewer to reflect on the very concept of reflection: the action and effect of reflecting, considering something anew or carefully, meditating, suggesting… but also, on the action and effect of being reflected. This exhibition brought together a total of 13 works by 11 artists. Thirteen works that showed an image of reality that captivates us, fascinated by that play of transparencies, of glazes, of reflections… that remain imprinted on the floor, the glass, the canvas, the panel or the photograph, thus demonstrating the fragility of the solid and the mysterious interaction of light and space. But also a reflection around the very concept and function of art itself; artistic phenomena that have blurred the boundaries between genres and techniques, leading toward a complexity of the hybrid, questioning the absolute and dwelling on the conceptual process of representation, where knowledge, memory, verisimilitude or ambiguity resonate like a murmur: a sum of words, of shadows and of noises that, in turn, are also reflected.
