LOOP

“LOOP” is a small work, which gives word to the concept of repetition or TEMPORARY LOOP. It is about a normal and monotonous day locked up in a central city, where we can see that time does not stop passing, but the actions and moments remain exactly the same, as if it were the famous film “Groundhog Day”, Loop refers to this infinite passage of time, where nothing you do matters, since everything restarts and becomes exactly the same again.

Technical, aesthetic and conceptual development

Quoting and remembering what he says: HEINICH, Nathalie in “The work beyond the object.”

“What do Conceptual Art, Performance and Installation have in common? They have in common a characteristic that makes contemporary art especially incomprehensible for defenders of the modern paradigm: the work of art is no longer placed in the object proposed by the artist, either because there is no more than one object other than a simple container (a sheet of paper, the walls of a gallery), or it is a waste destined to end up in the trash (a torn sheet of paper), whether it is an object that has no value or neither. It does not even exist”… “if it were not for the stories that serve as a starting point”…, “The story: this is the common point of these multiple ways of projecting the works beyond the object.”

And in this way a simple building next to a car begins to take shape and meaning.

As well as in the text “Conceptual art and conceptualism in Latin America” by Luis CAMNITZER. (2008), This work honors and refers to what it is to live life under a structural scheme of power relations. Now, let’s imagine that the car that arrives is the car of one of the employees of this building on the screen. This one comes and goes, EVERY DAY AT THE SAME TIME, IN THE SAME PLACE. As the days go by and go, this individual just locks himself in and lives in this place. Time is relative when it comes to having to work to live and exist in a country like Argentina and the world in general. Like those Latin American artists who radically questioned the nature of art. As well as its role, responding to the needs of society. I want to show that this is what people feel, when it comes to having to work very hard and at all hours, simply to be able to live peacefully, or to be able to make ends meet without feeling hungry or having to carry debt.

These artists also put the work itself in the foreground. Yes to the speech that she gave, also questioning the geopolitics of KNOWLEDGE and POWER that lies throughout the history of art. Without also leaving out the importance of this work and its discourse being put on the market.

Taking into account the technical and aesthetic characteristics, I was based and inspired by one of the works of Georg Nees “Corridor”. Borrowing the idea of ​​an image with perspective and depth.
