Ernesto Ballesteros brings together in this exhibition a group of photographs, monotypes, gouache, collage, and furniture that propose continuous exploration—not as a choice, but as something inevitable; the construction of a theory based on intuition.
As in Movimiento contínuo (1988–89), where he enlarged a detail from his drawings, in the photograph of stars that opens this exhibition he repeats that operation until the fragment loses its identification with the whole and becomes autonomous.
Conjetura renews the invitation to reflect on the significance of pausing, of looking each other in the eyes, of daring to invent places and to inhabit them.
