Ese punto en el espacio
​
This optical artifact emerges from the ability of geometry and reflective matter to conduct light, to build or simulate an “infinite” space. The encounter of light with a geometrically precise arrangement of mirrors creates a scenario of unusual spatial simulations in which the gazes of the spectators meet.
An atmosphere of light sculptures floods the entire interior space of the optical artifact, which is a space parallel or superimposed on the “here” of the viewer. It also constitutes a kind of homage to The Aleph by Jorge Luis Borges, to that point in space that contains all the points, to the vision of the universe concentrated on that nineteenth step in the basement. To enter such an unlimited scenario, you only need a certain ocular accommodation. The Aleph implies a metaphysical abstraction that leads us to think about the tension between infinity and unreality, about the human’s ability to apprehend knowledge, the Whole, the four corners of the universe, located in a space as vast as it is delimited.
