In his essay entitled “The object of the century”, French psychoanalyst Gérard Wajcman differentiates art from philosophy, seeing it as "thought not in concept but in action, material thought". The exhibition Objects are like they appear explores some of the avenues for reflection opened up in that book. Considering that “works of art” may be perceived as thinking objects and that they allow us to consider the real world in a different way, it seems relevant to bring together works by artists who challenge the notions of similarity, transposition, dissimulation and absence that affect objects. As the theme is very broad, no claims are made to an exhaustive treatment. Just a few viewpoints which weave together some connections and mirror games.
