Juegos de jardín

Photographic exhibition by Sergio de Luz at the Real Jardín Botánico in Madrid, in which plants and structures of the site suggest faces and figures to those who look at them.

The proposal brings together photographs built around pareidolia, the tendency to see faces or silhouettes in images and structures that do not show them explicitly. Sergio de Luz takes to the plant world an investigation that had begun in urban spaces, and the exhibition is conceived as an open game between what is seen and what is imagined.

The images focus on plants and structures of the Real Jardín Botánico, where visitors can discover faces, figures and other suggested forms. The Cátedra Cavanilles room hosts the route, and the diversity of readings that each person makes of the same photograph holds a central place in the approach.
