In line with our curatorial themes of exploring light, vision and transcendence, the gallery was named for an inscription at Carl G. Jung's Bollingen Tower depicting the alchemist figure Telesphoros: a caped homunculus bearing a lantern accompanied by the words: 

"Time is a child — playing like a child — playing a board game — the kingdom of the child. This is Telesphoros, who roams through the dark regions of this cosmos and glows like a star out of the depths. He points the way to the gates of the sun and to the land of dreams."
