By drawing a circle, which at the same time disappears and reappears, I deal with memory and its transformation over time.
In the work Misconception, the first and original drawing that fades represents the original experience, the passing of which leaves behind only a barely visible groove imprinted in the paper by the pencil’s tip. The next drawing reconstructs the original drawing, that is to say the original experience, guided by the memory–represented with the grove left in the paper–instead of by the original experience.
By reconstructing in the second round the original experience and all other rounds the reconstruction of aproximated original experience, moving in circles, with each new reminiscence we drift away from facts we try to aproximate while we deal with illusions with which we subsititute the authentic past.
