Descripción de la Exposición

"Someone has said: culture is anti-gravitational. And that is what the famous image that closes the first chapter of 2001 Space Odyssey reveals to us: a bone thrown by a hominid, which in its ascent towards the skies is transformed into a spaceship. From that part of matter that was once animated and which is at that moment ripped from the Real — an object turned into a tool that becomes a weapon, a primitive technique that becomes a mobilising image — one can intuit the gesture that established the forward movement of the entire anthropological machine and the establishment of an irreducible distance between human beings and nature".
