Huella (footprint)

"It is not that we have any a priori prevention against all that glitters, but we have always preferred deep reflections, somewhat veiled ... that slightly altered brightness that irresistibly evokes the" effects of time. "
Tanizaki "The praise of the shadow"

All human actions leave, over time, a FOOTPRINT.

The piece reveals how a constant movement on a steel surface can leave a
Footprint, in this case in the form of a word. A cotton cloth was used with which it was rubbed for ten minutes daily for two months until the desired effect was achieved.
Six pieces of 3 mm iron, weighing 4 kg each form the installation. They can
be mounted linearly or with different compositions. The
installation also shows the cotton cloth used, in which the imprint left by the
iron is also perceived.
