The Walls of Chile, Los muros de Chile (2012) dir. Louis von Adelsheim

Just like a poem, paintings in this exhibition are visual metaphors that, through the beauty of the symbol, get us closer to a place at this side of the wall, closer to a place that we cannot see, or that we dont want to see. Prison is a distant reality in the imagination of so many of us; a hidden place that remains feared. In the exhibition LOS MUROS de CHILE by German artist Louis von Adelsheim we get somewhere closer, making the prison walls transparent, and turning inside out the darkest side, a space confined in itself where our deepest fears breath. Looking inside the prison we see our inner self, interrogating us.
