THE FOREIGNER




A raft suspended by balloons inhabits the aerial space above a public pool. Even though, over time, a slow approximation toward the water takes place as the balloons deflate, the object does not complete its narrative or fulfill its function.

Time is the agent of happening. Expectation is a relationship with the future, the glimpse of a possibility; it establishes a belief and demands confirmation. Success is the fulfilled expectation. The foreigner proposes an encounter of these moments: that which institutes new possibilities but, since it does not exist as a materiality, may or may not become something. In this continuous relationship, the idea of origin has no sure place.
