The Altar to Our Lady of the Shining Silver Sun is a shrine in the Latin American tradition dedicated to presenting the beatific highs and the exponentially nightmarish shades of losing touch with reality. It holds testimonials of strange and powerful visions in the form of retablos, colorful votives often seen in Latin American churches that mix painting and text to show gratitude for moments of divine intervention or miracles. The retablos and the collection of small personal votives on the shelf that complement them will be offerings on the theme of “visions” and/or psychotic disorders that will become animated as one approaches the altar, hopefully presenting an environment where the perception of real and the unreal starts to stretch and rip apart.
