DESCRIPTION:
../The viewing point for this environmental installation was located in an elevated area of the exhibition space that the viewer could access via a dedicated staircase. It consisted of a floating layer of gilded metallic paper suspended in mid-air, which visually extended the plane seamlessly to the horizon line enclosed by the back wall of the span. On this was painted in the center a circle in phosphorescent paint, the coloring of which is visible only in the absence of ambient light. The installation became visible in its entirety only at dusk. The painting appeared only for a few handfuls of seconds.
On the opening day at 7:33 p.m., the artist sent via the Whatsapp® application to some personal contacts the digital image, the photograph of the ephemeral event. This sharing is called Relational Act and is reproducible by each owner of the work.
There are various derived images online and on paper, but the only one considered as authentic is the one the artist released on that date. The authenticity of the work is certified by the artist's archive by a double verification: a) the visual characteristics of the image. 2) the determination of the "causal relationship" that can be traced back to the "social chain" leading up to the owner who received it, which must be traceable to the artist.
