ABOUT

«Light has existed on Earth from its very beginnings. Vision is an adaptation to light. It has not always existed.»(1)

Under the name of Prisma, Julius Heinemann’s exhibition is articulated into three spaces and moments: a pictorial intervention on the wall –the window that reveals the internal structure and simultaneously filters our view of the outside; a set of paintings in the main hall; and their reflection in a camera obscura produced through an opening in the wall.

If we look through the window we see a landscape that blurs in the distance.

Thought nº 1: Piet Mondrian «The straight line is nothing but a tensed curve.»(2)
/ It’s an abstraction.

Thought nº 2: Bartolomé Ferrando «Walk on the horizon until you wear it out.»(3)
/ It’s an illusion.

Paleontology has shown that the first eye appeared as a response to light during the Cambrian period, 544 million years ago. It allowed a biological revolution that gave a new kind of awareness to independent live forms in their relationship with their environment and to their own development. With the eye, vision is born, and with vision, the image. According to its internal architecture, this organ detects and transforms stimuli generated by waves produced by light particles into information that is reproduced in the brain as color, shape and arrangement. But, as quantum physics reminds us, far from apprehending an objective reality, this sensory system forms an individual mental representation.
