The notion of a linear temporality defined by a succession of events apparently occurring in a single direction is inevitably confronted by the cyclical principle of time—based on the observation of nature and the cosmos. The encounter of both perceptions frames the definition—and redefinition—of concepts such as death or transformation, which signify the present by taking part in the process of interpreting history.
However, not only history is shaped by discourses in flux. The present is also assembled from material and ideological evidence whose interpretation is periodically transformed according to the criteria and priorities of each location. Art is one such relic: each of the artworks within this exhibition constitute a fragment of a broader context which determines the path of a community’s knowledge and habits, the ways in which territories are lived, as well as the actions and affections of an individual.
