EXHIBITION INFORMATION:

An object is never just an object. Things always reveal what is hidden in their matter-form relationship: objects reveal to us the life tied to them. The construction of the meaning that things reveal is determined by the way in which we organize and arrange them in a specific space-time, but also by the way in which they reveal their nature to us through the symbols that are already implicit in them.

The Order of Things critically comments on a series of complex relationships that develop in the space of the global and the local. The images and objects that are articulated in the exhibition room are situated at the base of two major concepts that outline this narrative: migrations and the economic relations that drive these migrations. That is, productive forces, the problem of work and the construction of the abject subject: the migrant displaced by the economic forces that drive him in search of other possibilities.
