Conceptual Description:

The starting point is an old board game, chess. 
The idea of ​​playing chess alone or playing against a code capable of anticipating each move, recalls to the film “The Seventh Seal”, in which a crusader - in an attempt to gain life time or delay death - plays this same game with an allegorical and “nonexistent” identity, Death, which proves to be invincible. Accordingly, in this art piece, the idea of ​​death as a non-living being capable of sharing the same plane of existence as living beings is superimposed with the idea of ​​computerization.
​What stands out from this relationship is the questioning of a relationship that, although apparently dynamic (due to physical ruptures and metamorphoses), remains perpetual through time, therefore static. A chess piece that was once carved in ivory or wood is now a set of lights on a screen. A game of chess that started hundreds of years ago and the pawns continue to move forward only one space per turn. The opponent that we face is both existing and non-existent, both anxious for victory and indifferent to defeat. So, to avoid this burden and to forget the inevitable, we put the board back on the table and challenge another solitary player for a game, this is nothing more than an attempt to forget the disaster while we fight for a fleeting victory.
