The Endless Spiral: Betsabeé Romero
“The Endless Spiral: Betsabeé Romero,” is an evocative and immersive exhibition premiering in the United States after its debut as an official Collateral Event of the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia in 2024.
Organized by MOLAA and curated by Gabriela Urtiaga, MOLAA’s Chief Curator, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the artistic and philosophical journey of Mexican artist Betsabeé Romero, whose multidisciplinary works confront the global urgencies of our time—migration, memory, borders, and belonging. Inspired by the overarching theme of La Biennale di Venezia 2024, Foreigners Everywhere, Romero’s exhibition examines cultural dualities and societal fractures through monumental installations, commissioned works, and symbolic materials.
“The endless spiral” features several immersive installations, starting with the Breaking the Perverse Frontiers of the Mirror, where concave safety mirrors that completely cover the room, observe and distort the reflected image. Mapped and manipulated mirrors, that accumulate physical and symbolic fractures. The work Fractured Footprints explores the suffering that borders cause: imposed lines that oppose necessity, survival, and understanding, scars that last a lifetime. The installation Memories of a Moving Totem introduces the visitor to the idea of mobility and the symbology of memory instruments, using cylindrical seals that have printed history in all cultures of Humanity. Finally, Dreaming of a Sunrise with Feathers in The Endless Spiral the artist creates a collective and ritualistic space, united by forces of nature, where all can enter and think of the past, present and future of society.
