Time Sculpture is a work that claims 'time' as a sculptural element. It defines a 'block of time' which is delimited spatially by the room itself. It is a response to Robert Smithson’s sculptures where 'time' is imagined as a material sediment that remains on hand indefinitely. However, Time Sculpture goes beyond Smithson’s notion of time as deposition and accommodates the notion of time as passage as well. Language is used here to inform the viewer of the sculpture itself, ultimately creating a phenomenological area of space-language. It is a configuration that allows the viewers to have an embodied experience of art and invites them to ponder questions of presence, impermanence and value. This work was exhibited for the first time at the Art Festival Begehungen 9 in Chemnitz (Germany, 2012) and again at Thessaloniki Biennale 4 parallel event Vanguard (Greece, 2013). It is a poignant work that deserves to be shown in South America, considering the current state of affairs. The text to be pasted on the wall:
Here you are in the presence of time
Time passes here
Time reigns here
(not beauty, not love, not justice, but time)
Time fills this room
Here you are in the presence of time
