In this project, Manuel Calderón employs a simple structure charged with symbolic weight: two light boxes and a mirror arrangement. Inside each, a black-and-white ink drawing renders a brick pattern that, through its perspective and layout, generates the illusion of two tunnels: one square, the other circular. These geometric forms, built upon repetition and symmetry, evoke different ways of imagining depth and continuity.
The piece explores the idea of infinity as a perceptual construction: the multiple reflections induce the sensation of a space that expands endlessly, yet is actually contained, closed, and self-referential. It is a false infinity—a closed representation of eternity, where apparent movement leads nowhere.
Two tunnels, two ways of projecting the desire for depth. A closed system of reflections, like an optical machine of the eternal. But the body does not advance. The eye never arrives. Infinity is an illusion perfectly contained within a box of light.
