Blindness Alma - A Room Without Walls is an installation that encapsulates Javier Martin’s Blindness Concept into a transcendental physical space, composed of mirrors and light that is simultaneously ethereal and unsettling.
This room breaks through architectural barriers. As the concepts of both light and infinity in their purest forms are nearly impossible to comprehend, these mirrored walls create a limited depiction of infinity.
With this extension of his Blindness concept, he invites the viewer to step into a room where he has conceptually removed the walls, replacing them with unlimited light and space. The room is a physical representation of broken metaphysical barriers that fill our minds with banal and insignificant thoughts, keeping us trapped, and un- able to realize the potential that exists beyond.
This piece not only tests the concept of perception but inspires self-reflection. Blindness Alma allows viewers to interact with the work, become a part of the art, and discover a pure reality without artificial barriers.
The transcendental problem of light is that it is merely a reflection, so the ultimate goal for the viewer is not to focus on the glowing neon light; rather, the participant is encouraged to search within for some- thing more profound beyond those lights, to question societal views of self-worth and perspective.
