About this work:
In El Aleph, Hernández alludes directly to the story whose title refers to «a place where there exist, unmistakably, all the places on the planet, visible from all angles».Like the original story, this engraving by Hernández seems to allude to the relativity of our spatial perception, showing us an image full of troubling spatial relationships, in which the precision of the pure geometrical forms seems to be contradicted by the feeling of lack of gravity and of decomposition of the sphere, and by the dense vegetation that seems to be invading the pyramid, a traditional symbol of eternity.
