In this project, Manuel Calder\u00f3n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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\u2014a closed representation of eternity, where apparent movement leads nowhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>", "protected": false }, "featured_media": 167, "template": "", "class_list": [ "post-164", "cpt-proyectos", "type-cpt-proyectos", "status-publish", "has-post-thumbnail", "hentry" ], "yoast_head": "\n
