Within the broader, more delocalized scope of The bee who forgot the honey, Línies de fuga offers a reflection focused on the historical-political and social dimension of the notion of landscape, understood in this case as a collective imagination, an element that is displayed as both constructing us and being constructed by us as a society and citizens. It is a collective exhibition in which a number of artists elaborate on contemporary issues related to ecology, transhumanism or the value of the image.

Like a vanishing line, ever visible but unattainable – ideal but impossible -, in this case, the landscape is presented as something we destroy but must protect, something we seek but cannot find, an obstacle that limits us but that we can sometimes unwittingly surpass. This display approches the way in which men address landscapes or how they become the reflection of an ideology, a collective imagination or a sphere of intimacy.
