| description | artist's statement | The inmigrant's historic street in Buenos Aires's port has a cement pedestal in one of its ends. Above it, a transparent moebius stripe rests inside a glass cube. This band has written in black letters the words IMMIGRANT and ARGENTINE, each one with an arrow in opposite directions. Like a sun dial, this object projects a shadow that changes all the time. In the morning the word Immigrant is projected in a way that can perfectly be read. The shade of the Argentine begins to appear flipped by mid-morning. At noon both words share the projection space and some hours later, the Argentine's shadow takes the scene. Little by little Immigrant's shade retires from the projection zone's center but it never leaves completely. |
