Acción y registro (después de la apertura de la exposición). Tubo de ensayo con mi sangre puesto el día de la inauguración con un cronómetro.
ENGLISH TITLE: STUDY ABOUT THE RECOGNITION OF TIME
I create a remains container, an echo. When matter is detached from me, it starts to die. Therefore I am that blood.
Creo un contenedor de remanentes, un eco. Cuando la materia se separa de mí, empieza a morir. Por lo tanto yo soy esa sangre.
The work/action last as only what my blood lasts separated from my body. That is why it has a chronometer next to it since it is extracted, in allegory to a declaration of death, next to the test tube, but becoming it a completely ephemeral work, but at the same time permanent, which exhibits death of blood and deduces the hypotetical time between this degradation of which everybody takes part in some way and freedom which also implies this detachment. Is a complement and negation of memory.
