“Ghost in the machine” is a group show that focuses on the documentation of the cryptic grey area between borders in constant flux, as an evasive paradox that bridges dual systems. Throughout the exhibition, the spectator can feel the essence of subtle moments and the fragility of the ephemeral, a sense of a vanishing presence, and the almost futile effort to preserve it.

Participating artists are: Martin Andersen, Nini Blancq-Cazaux, Eliud Carrizales, Giovanni Cervantes, Sergio A. Fernández, Pablo Franco, Toni Francois, Federico Gutiérrez, Stephan Jacobs, Hugo López, Christoph Morlinghaus, Martin Pisotti, Emilio Valdés and Eduardo Villarreal. 

Of note are photographs by Sergio A. Fernández, created in corporate spaces that appear sterile and impersonal, in which the spectator can feel a foreboding presence; the decomposition of systems in lucid, binary code-like images in the works by Martin Andersen; and a menacing, arcane farewell from the protagonists in a film by Emilio Valdes.
