La Mirada is an immersive installation composed of hundreds of digitally isolated and redrawn eyes taken from classical paintings spanning the Renaissance to the 20th century.
Removed from their original contexts and presented together, these illustrated eyes form a collective gaze that transforms visitors into both observers and subjects, bridging centuries of
art with New York’s contemporary pulse. Evoking the charged glances of 1920s Buenos Aires tango salons, the work channels the city’s energy of observation, where every exchanged look holds the promise of a story.
Printed across the iconic red curtains of the Faena Theater, these watchful eyes turn the venue into an instant landmark and social media magnet, making the architecture itself a participant in the ritual of looking and being seen. Complementing this immersive experience,
Andrés Reisinger’s mural in the theater foyer embodies the profound cosmology and rich symbolism at the heart of the Faena ethos.
Through a visionary blend of imagery and form, the artwork explores themes of connection, transformation, and the cyclical nature of existence. Each element invites contemplation, offering a visual narrative that resonates with Faena’s spirit, where culture, art, and hospitality converge to create meaningful, immersive experiences.
