Description

Is the audience an integral part of a work of art? This installation was made by an Italian artist in the garden of a building for students' study owned by the Catholic Church in Padova. The organizers from the public Health Service had hired a room to host a series of conferences. During the breaks I spent my time in the garden. The rose was in a bed bordering the space where the swing and the robin were frozen in time. So the rose was an integral part of the context. The effect was stunning, because it looked real from a distance, and among the plants. Yet, obviously, a swing can't stay still while swinging, and here I intervened with my postwork. I felt that as an audience my perceptions were part of the artwork, since it was in a public space. I tried to give the idea of action to it by duplicating the frozen istants. In fact, time is made of a series of instants, almost, but not, identical. In some way, this artwork is the opposite of yesterday's Wet Pool. Tomorrow I'll post the swing and the robin as it appears to the casual viewer. Thank you for your kind comments.
