The title comes from Latin and means “inside,” “within,” or “towards the interior”—a direction that runs throughout the exhibition, guiding the gaze towards what remains contained, latent, or barely visible beneath the surface.

At the centre of the exhibition, a cave constructed from polished stainless steel transforms the experience of space. Its surface captures the architecture, light, and bodies of those who approach it, fragmenting them within its folds and returning them as shifting images. Each movement alters the work, and every visitor introduces a new figure, allowing the installation to be continuously reshaped by the presences moving through it. The viewer ceases to observe from the outside and becomes part of an image that appears, shifts, and disappears with them.

Guzmán approaches the cave as one of the earliest inhabited forms of architecture and as the place where some of humanity’s first images emerged. In cave paintings, the natural contours of the rock contributed to the appearance of animals and signs endowed with an almost magical symbolic dimension. These images established a relationship with nature, survival, and the forces beyond human control. In Intus, this transformative capacity is reactivated through reflection: images arise from the bodies present and exist for the duration of their encounter with the work.

The sculptures accompanying the installation extend this investigation through matter. In these works, the volume contained within a metallic skin is extracted and acquires an existence of its own, while retaining the imprint of the space that once enclosed it. The interior emerges as a body, while the surface reveals its capacity to contain, produce, and transform forms.

INTUS thus proposes a journey in which the exterior enters the cave and becomes an image, while what remained within moves out into the space and becomes sculpture. The exhibition invites visitors to move through the work, recognise themselves in its transformations, and discover what might emerge when the gaze is directed inward.
