In keeping with the Palán-Palán spirit, the Jorge López gallery opens its doors to various "invasions," unexpected appearances of other people's works: in some cases the guests are friends, in others, admired artists, and in still others, the choice is almost random. In any case, the encounter enriches both parties and clarifies their mutual intentions: Alberto sets himself the challenge of seeing himself through the other, unraveling in brief texts the bond that unites him to those who cohabit his space.

As the boundary between self and other blurs, the notions of authorship and ownership also become more complex: the interchangeable relationship between everyone and the mutual redefinition of the exhibition and, more generally, the system, even in terms of symbolic value.
