Exhibition summary

This exhibition by Miguel Mendoza examines the intersection of digital media and the material world through the lens of 'sensitive content,' a term often used as a digital warning. The works explore how social media algorithms structure our perception and our relationship with the image in the post-digital age.

Curatorial context

In 'Sensitive Content,' Miguel Mendoza delves into the aesthetic-political framework that defines what is visible, audible, and perceivable in our public spaces, drawing on the philosophy of Jacques Rancière. The exhibition interrogates the dual meaning of 'sensitive'—as both an emotional or physical reaction and as the caution label encountered on social media platforms when confronted with potentially distressing imagery. Through a combination of stained glass, photography, and digital installations, the exhibition seeks to materialize the ephemeral nature of online images. By forcing an engagement between physical materials—such as metal, glass, and photographic paper—and the virtual space of the algorithm, Mendoza invites visitors to move beyond the automatic visual consumption dictated by digital devices and to rethink the material impact of our daily interactions with photography.
