Exhibition: “AMIG@, ¿Quién eres?“ Romana G. Brunnauer
With the question “Friend, Who are you?” (AMIG@, ¿Quién eres?”), the artist Romana Gabriele Brunnauer demonstrates a parallel between the first part of the allegory of Plato's cave and the digital reality of social networks. The show will inaugurate this Saturday in the Exhibition Hall "El Aljibe" in Haria at noon. Romana wants to express the essence that remains hidden in the informal exchange of social networks. This exhibition is the third part of the artist’s project; the first two were presented at the gallery ARTENMALA, also in Lanzarote.
