EXHIBITION NEGRO
Every creation arises from movement, but also from emptiness —from the stillness found in silence and contemplation. Black is not simply the antithesis of light; it is the expansion of color’s limits, the transmutation of what we know into the very absence of light. This exhibition responds to a critical need to redefine our understanding of presence and absence, visibility and concealment.
Black is not the absence of color but the accumulation of all colors —a totality that disintegrates in its own contradiction. This interplay of opposites becomes a reflection on the transience of ideas and identities in the contemporary context. As Adorno said: art is not only reflection, it must also be resistance. Negro is that space where resistance occurs not in form, but in perception itself, in the reconfiguration of what we are allowed to see.
The contrast with Aura is evident, but it is not about opposition—both exhibitions are two sides of the same coin, a mirror that invites reflection on our dependence on binary thinking. The absolute, like the total, is unsustainable. Eyddos does nothing but propose the constant transformation of what we understand as “complete,” of what we understand as “being.”
