Hermann Rorschach. Las 10 Tarjetas
The 10 cards of Herman Rorschach, which is a psychological test to look into the subconscious of the human mind.
Hermann Rorschach
Hermann Rorschach was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who developed a technique to reflect unconscious parts of the personality. He was born in 1884. He graduated in Medicine in Zurich in 1909 and specialized in psychiatry in 1914.
Hermann Rorschach created 10 inkblot boards with two structuring elements: axis and symmetry. He began experimenting with them and theorized that mental health could be assessed by how someone processes visual information. Read more….
Observe the mystery of how your brain manipulates you.
Artist consistently honored Rorschach in many ways. For example, pop artist Andy Warhol painted his own series of 38 “Rorschach inkblots” in 1984.
Perhaps the most famous reference, Alan Moore, created the character of Rorschach in the 1986 graphic novel Watchmen, an antihero who wears a mask with an ink stain and asks his victims what they see.
It is beyond doubt, that the influence of Rorschach's work on popular culture is undeniable, and his contribution to the construction of knowledge in psychiatry should be recognized.
And yes, the inkblot eventually made its way into advertising, where it continues to be used intermittently to this day…. John Foster
“Máscara” A journey into your mind
El Aljibe de Haría. Lanzarote.
An exhibition by Enric Mads
The exhibition hall “El Aljibe de Haría” is located in the town of Haría. The Gallery is in an old cistern that was formerly used to capture and store water for the city in times when water was a scarce commodity.
Now it houses temporary exhibitions of art. Access to the room is down a staircase under the city.
The old cistern is about 200m2 and organized around a floor-length glass skylight that provides natural light and ventilation to the room. The flooring is made of wood and basalt stone edges, which provides not only aesthetic beauty but also aeration of the floor.
Thanks for your visit. I hope it was pleasant and you had a good experience. Sincerely. Enric Mads
