Warm lights or cold lights between us and the darkness…and in the middle…images reflected in the walls acquiring strange forms…colours that change its presence, red lights, candle lights…faces lighted in the dark…

 

This relation between the darkness and the lights, this shadows growing in the paths…this images that we can only see through the light…have served as excuse for creations, for inventions, for passions, for huge dreams…

The theories of Platon about reality opened this box of Pandora and started this discussion about the shadows and about the reflections of the reality, because reality, it is not what we see…and the lights have an important paper…

 

But…what it means to be under the lights?

 

Maybe, to be protected; or maybe, to be a shadow; or maybe, just been an idea of reality.

 

This relation between the lights and the “imaginarium” around them is what we wanted to explore with Underdlights exhibition.
