AUTOBIOGRAPHY FOR THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS
AUTOBIOGRAPHY FOR THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS
50 luminous spheres which turn on and off gradually every eight seconds. It is the result of the average number of hospitalizations due to COVID in Andalusia, Spain and Europe during the first few pandemic months. As times goes by, in a near term future, these seconds will decrease in order to reach total enlightenment.
Photographic panel with 122 images related to the pandemic and to healthcare professionals, introduced into picture frames related Braille’s alphabet, where we can read the following “Remember Him, Remember Him to Others” by Luis Cernuda.
Hospital Universitario Reina Sofía from Cordova/ April o21- Present Day.
A journey-like TRAVELL, like an itinerary, a participle.
It is a rectilinear erosion forced into a wall. The fear to Oblivion, the self-destruction and a tragic historical path. Memory, its identity and its lost, both forced and unintentional; it is a journey which starts without us knowing if it is ever going to end, a light and its opposite, that is to say, a corroding cut, a blinding object. Absences, divisions and luminous borderlands represented by lines. A fragment. Always fragments. A life-line, a dissolution, a unique colour. A resistance. Autobiography for the Present Continuous. A close Spinal Column and, at the same time, obstinacy in its ending’s search. Straight roots. Vertical and strengthened roots. The emerged tip of immense solitude. Reminding us constantly our fragility as individual beings.
Autobiography is born as a jointed work for the expository project, realized inside Hospital Universitario Reina Sofía from Cordova’s general hall in commemoration and gratitude to health professionals. For their commitment and dedication during Covid-19’s pandemic, which has turned them into leading examples of progress and humanization. It tries to relate autobiographical exploration intimacy with physical space, a material expression of our desire to find out the meaning of what we see, what we saw and we don’t remember, to future and our inner-selves. Through these pictures and luminous bodies, I will speak about memories represented by breathing shelters, which dilate and hug us; once we step into that space in which we feel the safety and beauty coming from a cuddle, a narrated smile; a present continuous as a mirror of what we were, what we are and what we are about to live, not turning the lights off, not even the last.
Maybe, an immerse landscape’s certification, a question when we are just about to leave. A tightened wall as support, a void as vital matter, such as colour. A wounded body, a lustful game for silence and luminous archaeological remains. We have just scratched the surface, we have just understood the beginning. It is time to transmit.
To sustain our own existence. Now.
