Visions is a solo exhibition by Pilar Zeta that unfolds as a poetic system of altars, portals, and architectures of perception. Conceived as a sensory and symbolic landscape, the exhibition brings together new sculptural works, large-format paintings, video portals, and animated elements to explore the threshold between form and formlessness—between the visible and the invisible.
At the center of the exhibition stands a sculptural fountain, composed of geometric forms and reflective surfaces. Activated by surrounding light and sound, the fountain serves as both an energetic core and a contemplative device. Water flows through it like thought made liquid—repeating, refracting, and returning the viewer to presence.
Flanking the central piece are two miniature temples, meticulously crafted from alabaster and opaline. These intimate sculptures echo ancient architectures while remaining untethered from any specific time or place. Their translucent materials allow light to pass through in subtle gradients, evoking a sense of inner illumination. Like talismans or relics from a parallel cosmology, they operate as portals for introspection—quietly inviting the viewer to step into new states of awareness.
One of the key works in the exhibition, The Southern Oracle, is a monumental oil painting inspired by the altar from The NeverEnding Story. Framed in an iridescent sculptural border, it functions as a threshold that perceives truth and activates inner vision. Nearby, archetypal cards and digital animations punctuate the space—each piece responding to light, movement, and sound to construct a shifting sensorial terrain.
As with much of Zeta’s practice, Visions resists linear interpretation. Rather than offering answers, it opens spaces—inviting the viewer into a ritual of observation, imagination, and potential. The exhibition becomes a liminal architecture: a meditation on transformation, where the act of looking becomes an act of remembering what is yet to be seen.
