The opacity gains the strange transparency of the concept. Now darkness, irreducible to the mere physicality of the absence of light, asserts itself as knowledge and circumstance. A veil veils one version of the truth. It is the intermediation of the gaze. The fact is no longer read or seen, but its invisibility is witnessed.

Starting from the premise that objectivity is always a minimum of subjectivity, Gabriella Garcia invites us to divert our attention to the decadence of any human classification system, building taxonomies that influence the body of works to be observed.
Thus, pigments, curtains and harmonious piles hide a barricade: instead of ordering, they accentuate the chaotic and inextricable character of the yearning for what can be valued as organization and pleasure. Garcia intends to demonstrate how the negationist use of taxonomic models such as archetypes, catalogues, lists and indexes, simultaneously with liquid properties such as astrology, dreams and memory, can be performed in a rhythmic and even ironic way.
Bringing all these nuances of farces, invisibilities and regrets into her works, the artist stresses the narrative power that images have created in the world and clarifies how questioning becomes extremely urgent and necessary so that history does not repeat itself as an even greater tragedy.
