autoritratto potenziale
Potential Self-Portrait (Lat N 45° 37′ 12.00″, Long E 8° 50′ 24.00″, 29.01.1977, 14:00) is a large wall installation made up of hundreds of matches, each representing a visible star in the sky: an architecture that appears fragile and harmless, yet like a human life, can be consumed in a matter of seconds.
The title Potential Self-Portrait (Lat N 45° 37′ 12.00″, Long E 8° 50′ 24.00″, 29.01.1977, 14:00) refers us to the coordinates of an “other” time and space, revealing a potential mapping — a personal reflection on the relativity of the concept of time.
But if what appears real is nothing more than the processing of information, does the question of time inevitably lead to a reflection on the dilemma of being?
