Il Tempio del Tempo, 2013-14

The three images, placed at short intervals, each feature a telescopic succession of a circle inscribed in a square, alternately drawn or photographed, black or white, full or empty. In addition to circles and squares outlined in pencil, the face of a clock and the multiplied reproduction of the drawn elevation of a temple alternate in various ways. In the central element of the triptych, the linear circle is punctuated by twelve clocks marking the hours.
In this “Tempio del Tempo” (“Temple of Time”), as the title indicates, time is not the chronological one that marks life or the world, but rather a circular and universal time, in which nothing begins nor ends: it is the time of the work of art, in which past, present and future correspond in the same dimension, extraneous to any evolutionary logic.
