Rodrigo Red Sandoval: Loopholes

About

How does the outline divide a mountain from the rest of its surroundings, separate the peaks from the sky, how do we divide a tree from the ground, a leaf from a branch? How does the outline of a word divide an object or phenomena from the rest? An exhibition about pointing, focus and about the abouts.
