The ten aspects of the One
Exhibition by Sofia Cruz (Studio for Art and Photography).
It is only along intricate passageways connecting the interior and exterior of consciousness that we actually can form an understanding of ourselves, stepping beyond the immediacy of our thoughts and our feelings. It is from within an externality that we can establish a place to observe, that we can transform. Essentially, who are we really? And what are we stepping into? The museography of the show The Ten Aspects of the One is inspired by antique symbology and mystic knowledge which, over the course of history, have perpetually been referenced and remain present within the spatial layout and the architecture of many public institutions. Through the arrangement of the works as well as through its use of materials and colours, the show connects biographical experience with a dormant knowledge present within space itself.
