Tiny Event, from the series Tiny Events, 2005.
About the series
The portrait is the resource to show the singularity, the isolation or rather the incommunicability of the individual but fundamentally to show that individual in his/her condition as such, that condition, that is common to everybody, is the only available means to establish a link.
It is someone presented in his/hers present, in a single action that extends indefinitely in time, in this action and its uncertain potentiality concludes the story. The confrontation of these two time series shows the fissure between these beings and a possible context, it is not a circumstance but a condition.
A change of attitude is not necessarily read in the signals or gestures of the body, at least not in a very evident way. The intensity of the gesture is contrary to grandiloquence. Moreover, in this case, looking up and seeing is not a guarantee of anything, it is an internal event. There is no certainty, it only opens up a possibility. As Kierkegaard would say, here "truth is subjectivity", and subjectivity is confined within the limits of a body.
