The opening of the exhibiton "Reflect the image" begins the same time as the Autmun festival of Image highlighting the patrimony. The purpose is thinking about all practices of fixed images with the help of two books written first by Maxence Rifflet names "Our prisons" and the other "Mänk'àcen" (fifth state) by Sergio Valenzuela - Escobado. Maxence Rifflet speaks about the prison regime in which he shows that architecture plays an important part on convicts lives. For doing this he has built some relationships with males and females convicts and uses their own experiences for underlining that they must reacting for having better lives. The second book deals with the making picture process and his impact on South America in the middle of the 19th century. The autochthon people discover cameras and photographers in 1840 when they arrive by boats and look very surprising by such invention. They name cameras "Toumayacha Alakana" meaning head covers by a veil but they didn't clearly understand the goal specially the loosing of their identity relagated to a folklore of secondary importance. The cameras testifies the political and social situation of South America including the rising of the elites.
