But can a physical space embody the passage of time? This is the question I will seek to answer with this art installation. My proposal is to create a large-scale abandoned swimming pool in the center of Sala Molinas of the Faena Art Center. The pool will be a life-size replica of my childhood swimming pool in its final state of decay, with tiles and exotic plant life sprouting in the corners. As a photographer, I capture a fractured moment of a deeper history. Because of this inherent quality, I am drawn to photograph abandoned spaces whose once-grandeur has fallen into disrepair and decay. The work explores how memory is, as Bergson suggests, incontrovertibly affixed to the passage of time. The viewer will only see a large white cube with a small door in the center of the main exhibition room. Once inside the box, however, the viewer will have stepped inside an abandoned swimming pool, where they'll be confronted with the void of its emptiness, and provoked to question their own constructs of time, memory, and loss.\n\nAs Bergson hypothesizes, time can only be measured by the memory of experience provoked within a viewer \u2013 this work will be a journey into the viewer's inner consciousness and an exploration of the interconnectivity of time and space.","space":"Exhibition space: Faena Art Center, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. \n\nINSTALLATION\nPOOL: Total 115,425m2\nMaterial: Walls Durlock (in Brazil, Drywall) - 72.24 m2 \nTiles: 5130 units\n\nFAENA ART CENTER - EXHIBITION ROOM\nSala Molinos 1st \ufb02oor: 630 m2 6781.26 sq ft","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"pt","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DMrLUrcSVsM","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":12,"names":"Maritza","surname":"Caneca","email":"macaneca@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"FT119746","address":"1627 Brickell Avenue - unit 406","city":"Miami","nacionality":"Brazilian","country_id":"236","birthdate":"1964-01-30T04:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1964-01-30T04:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+1 (786) 603-4285","web":"https:\/\/maritzacaneca.carbonmade.com\/   \/  @maritzacaneca"}
