This exhibition provides an insight into the psychodynamics of a fictional person who reacts to conflicts with defence mechanisms. The images are intended to visually collect some of the self-protective behavioural motifs that share the negative capacity of distorting our perception of reality, acting as shadows, from the background.

The works not only provide analogies between these mechanisms and classic hunting scenes, thus creating a set of motives, but they also revive different historic periods and characters. In this way the viewer can look at these phenomena from different timelines.

All this is realised in a relatively symmetrical format, the pictures are juxtaposed in pairs. Their duplicity and uncertainty are resolved in a search for balance. In the inner space, charcoal drawings represent shadows while the serpentines represent the outside world, leading the visitor from the outside into an inner space.
