EXHIBITION ELEMENTS
The four elements, Water, Air, Earth, and Fire, are born from the contemplation of time and its rhythm, from taking in everything around us. We find answers by observing nature, and not wanting to control it.
It is through alchemy that we connect with the primordial, the very basis of our existence. This philosophical discipline incorporates notions of chemistry, physics, astrology, spiritualism and art.
The theory is ancient, forming part of Chinese culture in the 2nd millennium BCE. It was the alchemists who spoke of four elements in relation to creation. The quintessence, recognized by Plato, is Ether, which, according to Greek mythology, was the pure essence breathed by the gods.
From these elements, cycles of creation or destruction are created, on which survival depends. Air for breathing, water for drinking, fire for warming, and earth for sustenance. If any of these four is missing, the balance and cycle are broken, resulting in death.
Alchemists of the Middle Ages regarded the elements earth and water as symbols of the feminine, and air and fire as masculine.
This idea has been reformulated through Eyddos, which break free from dichotomies. We live on human beings in constant evolution and transformation. We focus on the quintessence, the fifth element, Ether, proposed by the Greeks as uniting the rest, and capable of producing fundamental alterations in the other four elements
EXHIBITION ELEMENTS: Fire
Fire represents expansion, vitality and energy. It is intense and transforming. All matter returns to fire, to the inorganic.
"...It dries, it ignites and at the same time it consumes..."
With respect to psychology, alchemists link Fire with knowledge. For them, there is a profound relationship between Fire and Gold
“...BETWEEN FINDING OUR ESSENCE AND BUILDING A NEW ONE, WE CHOOSE A THIRD PATH: LOOKING INWARD, DECONSTRUCTING AND TRANSFORMING OUR IDENTITY WHILE IN CONSTANT MOVEMENT. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS THE WAY TO EXIST IN THE WORLD TODAY
