Designer on show: Aldo Chaparro

Known for his explorations of materiality, perception, and the body, Chaparro's work occupies a space of tension — a liminal zone where matter meets emotion, and form balances between control and surrender.

Through a powerful combination of sculpture and painting, the exhibition invites visitors to reconsider their relationship with the world around them, not as distant observers, but as active, entangled participants.

More than an exhibition, Are we still pretending this is not about us? is a call — to attention, to presence, to recognition. It questions the illusion of separation between ourselves and the environments we inhabit, proposing instead a sensitivity of perception: a way of seeing the world as something we are inherently part of.
