160 emulsified feathers and metal tube

–

In this set of works, Sala juxtaposes Goya’s famous series with contemporary images, triggering an exercise in critical reflection in which past and present intersect. The title alludes to Lacan’s notion of the mirror as a construct of identity: what we look at also reflects our own involvement back at us.

The feathers introduce a tension between lightness and violence, between material fragility and historical starkness. The installation does not illustrate horror, but rather duplicates it, highlighting the persistence of disasters and questioning the idea of progress as a linear narrative.
