Moments lived during five decades are now co-living simultaneously, uniting the living with the dead. Different moments in time but all coexisting in the present. Without space and time. The living and the dead together. With a wish to perpetuate, and to retain. Defying death and oblivion as time goes by. Believing that by representing something we can preserve it. Creating the illusion that they are still here with us.

Generating a tridimensionality from a lightening recorder is a utopian exercise, recovering time and materiality. A simulation that pretends to question all order of temporary visuality by which we are bound.

What Aristotle said about time is; “the now is ( exists) in so far as the before and the after are countable”. This project pretends, through a succession of images and joining various times at the same moment, to create a timeless dimension. The intervention of the timeless dimension always bares the label of creativity, of novelty by provoking fractures in the field of space and time. We achieve that space always remains the same and the things from before and from now are happening in the present moment. This way, all moments lived during the last five decades cohabitate simultaneously.
