Rakel McMahon: I see the stars but I do not see the world
10 December, 2022–25 March, 2023

Rakel McMahon will exhibit a site-specific sculpture, inspired by the Greek myth of Echo and Narcissus. The work also refers to Jung´s ideas on the unconscious, childhood memories and dreams.
I see the stars but I do not see the world
All colors fade and dissolve in the dark
The underpass accommodates only shadow and light
In the outlines nothing but the mirror image of others
All colors fade and dissolve in the dark
The underpass accommodates only shadow and light
In the outlines nothing but the mirror image of others
What propels the echo that once had a voice? What happens to a hand that wilts, vanishes, fades away?
(leaving behind only traces of touch)
What is the source of visions in a dream? (where all colors fade and dissolve)
I see the stars – but I do not see the world
(leaving behind only traces of touch)
What is the source of visions in a dream? (where all colors fade and dissolve)
I see the stars – but I do not see the world
