We had the pleasure to present the solo show 'Imago Mundi' by Cristina Lucas (1973), an emerging Spanish artist whose work had never been shown in Belgium. Lucas's work focuses on cultural and political value systems and on the way they are translated into contemporary art. Within this analysis, a feminist approach plays an important role.

'Imago Mundi' was an exhibition in which Lucas tried to reflect on the capacity of mankind to understand and interprete the world that surrounds it. The spatial representation is conceived on the three possible scale levels: the immense, the earth globe and the molecular. Each of these scales can be made visible due to the technological developments man has achieved, one of the main characteristics of which has been the conquest of the world as an image. Heidegger's statement that 'the essence of Modernity is characterized by the fact that the world can be converted into an image' was a point of reference for the concept of the show.

The exhibition was entirely made up of new works, including an installation, two video works and a new series of paintings and drawings, and took up both of the gallery's exhibition halls.
