THE THINGS WE CANNOT SEE

Until May 11, 2024.

Hua Jin and Rafael Herman share a profound connection with nature, and its contemplation is their main source of inspiration. Their visual practice, based on solitary reflection, uses video and photography to illustrate the diverse and often imperceptible phenomena in the ecological world. The artworks selected for this exhibition provide insight into the inscrutable but pervasive presence of air and light pollution within urban areas and beyond.

Both artists express subtle tension: while denouncing the impact of pollution, they revere the power of nature. They confront us with our conditioned gaze and prompt us to look further, beyond appearances. Caught in their rapture, we bathe in their fields of colour and finally see the things we could not see.
