The exhibition brings together for the first time in Portugal three fundamental works by the artist, proposing a reflection on the politics of the image, historical memory and the ethical responsibility of the viewer. Galeria Francisco Fino presents One Million Points of Light, the artist's first solo exhibition at the gallery. Curated by Maurizio Bortolotti, the exhibition brings together a selection of works that articulate some of the central questions underlying Jaar's practice: the politics of the image, the ethics of representation and the viewer's responsibility in a world saturated with visual information. Over more than four decades, Jaar has been investigating how images shape our understanding of reality and mediate our relationship with human suffering, violence and historical memory. At a time when images circulate incessantly through global communication systems and social media, his work resists spectacle and the urgency of the immediate, proposing instead a space for reflection, silence and ethical confrontation. Rather than reproducing the rhetoric of mass media, Jaar strips the image of excess and restores its human dimension. Tuesday to Friday, from 12pm to 7pm, Saturday, from 2pm to 7pm. Technical details: Curated by Maurizio Bortolotti.
