From a conceptual point of view, "Fulguraciones" is a crossroads where the depth of the sea rises, feeding back the mystery of life with its lights and shadows. On the one hand, the swimmers made in 3D printing are placed in a spiral and hand-painted by the artist which surprise both for their realism and for their subtle and silent character. These delicate figures are floating surrounded by bubbles and illuminated by sunlight peeking through the glazed dome. The pastel colors of the swimmers blend perfectly with the idea of "purity" of the aquatic and luminous environment.

In contrast, the room in the Berni Pavilion is characterized by a space painted entirely in gray with 22 large black and white photographs intervened by Schussheim. In the images, we see men dressed as polar bears posing with different people, like typical vacation souvenirs. The curious thing is that the polar bears are on the beach, out of their habitat. Another aspect that generates a strangeness in the viewer is that the surrealistic style images are real. The artist extracted the original photographs from the Internet from which she manually modified the bears' faces to make them look sinister.

The contrast between freedom and luminosity in the dark universe is evident. The bridge between these two fantasy worlds created by Schussheim is provided by three small sculptures: one of a solitary polar bear and two of the swimmers. Accompanying the experience is a continuous, slow-motion video of a giant wave about to break. The soundtrack of the room and the video is by Damián Laplace.

To enter this exhibition is to immerse oneself in a different world. More than a visit, it is a profound experience destined to be remembered forever, as happens when something challenges us from a very deep place that perhaps we cannot explain with words because the mystery of emotions is reluctant to be verbalized.
