The walls themselves bear fragments of disorder: fallen canvases, dislodged frames, and an enigmatic mirror that suggests a portal or escape to another dimension. These displacements highlight the tension between expectation and reality, inviting the audience to question the stability of representation. Blurred texts positioned near the canvases evoke explanatory titles or labels, but their illegibility denies the viewer the comfort of fixed interpretation. This deliberate obfuscation echoes Derrida’s reflections on blindness—reread here not as an absence of vision, but as a profound metaphor for the selective nature of human perception.
In the center of the room, a distorted shopping cart stands out, creating a kind of “cultural-consumerist” atmosphere, distorted by the same forces that shape our understanding of reality and consequently of art. This central object, like the elements scattered around it, forces viewers to reflect on their role as participants in the interpretative process. The tension between the viewer’s attempt to “decode” the space and the intentional interruptions created by the artist highlight the inherent gaps in communication between artist and audience.
The exhibition also explores the porous boundaries between reality and fiction, raising questions about selective vision. To what extent do we see what aligns with our preexisting structures? Are we, as spectators, blinded by our own “repertoire” of interests, prejudices, and cultural constructions?
