I have done a study on how to break the relationship between space and time.
My idea was to make a gateway - a moment where the space is variable for more or less without changing the temporal sequence.
A dimensional portal where a distant point connects to another while maintaining the same moment.
The installation THE FRACTURED INSTANT takes us to a gray and immobile landscape, similar to an old postcard forgotten in some drawer of the soul. A small procession of red bicycles appears in the background. They advance placidly. At first glance, they seem to rip through the moment as if they were the first ray of light on a gloomy morning. Bicycles and drivers, one by one, disappear and merge into a single image without a precise shape. The plural becomes singular and then plural again.
Led by figures, also wrapped in red, little by little they are approaching us. They assume a human dimension, which threatens to invade our space, the next moment the bikes disappear. It is as if time stopped for a brief moment, interrupted for unknown reasons and everything returned to the initial inertia. But with each new day, life is remade and we are given a new opportunity. And there are the bikes and their drivers again following their inexorable destinations.
This video installation have been showed in 2010 at Centro Cultural dos Correios in Rio de Janeiro and in New York at Nohra Haime Gallery in 2015.
