Labor continua

A character moves around the room in an opening sequence, goes to the table to work, rests, looks out the window, and continues. There is a permanent, invisible movement around the work that complements what is in front of us and of which we are a part.

Technical, aesthetic and conceptual development:

Before experiencing a work, there is a chain of events that made it possible and understand not only the artist but also his context, his history.

“The picture painted at last is nothing but the visible testimony of a crazy single machine that moves within the artist’s activity.”1

Aira comments on an analysis of Poussin’s work in a painting, where the steps the artist followed in creating it are detailed.

“Poussin’s painting, in its exquisite workmanship, in its museum-like timelessness, is the document, written in code, of a history of experience, nostalgia, hallucination, in which Mario Praz, Daniel Arasse and others also act.”1

The box where our character lives, a kind of “model” that usually accompanies projects, their movements, the time dedicated to each of them, imitates this “hidden reality” of the work. “Continuous Work” is in permanent movement and the work of the protagonist, like that of the work itself, extends towards infinity.
