The One and The Others is the connecting
element to his previous exhibition (Íris,
Brotéria, 2021). Its presence reinforces
the idea of a continuous exhibition, which
integrates several universes, in a progression
of interactions — a narrative fragmented
into different episodes. The work is a light
sculpture composed of nine ellipses that
evoke the idea of a system. Based on a set of
drawings produced by the Spiritual Automata
machine, which were presented in the
gallery in 2019, the piece presupposes the
hypothetical existence of a planet in the solar
system which is still unknown. This cosmic
and metaphorical vision incites a reflection
about the dynamics, behaviours and group
identity within a system. While some shapes
seem to be isolated, others appear in the
anonymity of the whole. In any case, they can
only exist interdependently.
