TOO MUCH TIME IS LOST
2015
Too much time is lost is a thesis about the loss of time developed through an
artistic process; it has as starting point from a personal experience of the
artist, a series of events that lead to the reflection of time, existence in time
and art and pain, it has reference points on how other artworks have been
developed around those subjects. A terrible experience of victimization gave
way to explore the aesthetic experience of drinking a cup of coffee and in
that action finding a different timeline, a space of contemplation. In a
search for hope the work is directed towards divination. What if that coffee
cup could give faith a about the future? In that exploration the research
describes the way how mankind has had the need for the unknown and how
the coffee grounds tell the future, it shows how the artworks are developed
with the coffee grounds readings and how that exploration leads to
skepticism (sceptisism) the next topic that follows a realistic view of the
artist. In that rupture of faith the thesis examines formal artworks that use
the concept of things that are broken and it concludes the artistic process of
the experience with a reflection about the future. The uncertain future and
faith concepts are seen through an optic where the future is built and the
forthcoming events are planned in the quotidian human lives, something
that can be thought while drinking cup of coffee. Faith in the future in the
artistic process is not envisioned as an oracle but as an idea that in the
artist perspective evolved to an idea progress, as a column that gets built
and it must continue even if too much time is lost.
