Percepción

Paris 2017

Ricardo, equipped with a Bluetooth microphone, moves through the gallery, speaking softly. He shares, almost in confidence, what he sees, hears, and perceives, reflecting on his experience of the space. At times, his observations spark memories, which he recounts, often making us laugh. At first, we are unaware that Ricardo is in the same room, quietly observing us as we listen. It’s only when we recognize certain scenes he describes—ones we can also see—that we realize he is there.
His words are transmitted in real time through a set of headphones hanging on the wall in a corner of the gallery. The listener is invited to merge their own perception of the space with Ricardo’s narrative, creating an unexpected sense of connection and complicity between two strangers.
