The second Hermetic principle, which establishes a relationship between opposite extremes, is the most popular formula in the book The Kybalion. This important esoteric publication, which presents knowledge, doctrines or rituals reserved for initiates or secret groups, was published in Chicago at the beginning of the twentieth century and gathers the teachings of the mythical Hermes Trismegistus, related to both the classical and modern Hermetic tradition.

This secret aphorism, which has transcended the passage of time, reminds us in its moral that opposites are connected through a deep dependence that keeps them closely united. The exhibition Heaven and Earth does not seek to materialize or disseminate through a selection of works by contemporary artists any type of esoteric thought; rather, it seeks to project the sensation of a concordance between what is different or distinct, something that the poetic image of the correspondence between heaven and earth seems to perfectly embody.
