Description

This is the first chapter in a triennial project that centres on the relationship of the artist with him or herself in the screen-based age. All the works were created after 11 September 2001, a date impressed in the memory of everyone and that marked epoch-making changes.

With Timer01, questions are asked on the internal space of the new social context created since the attack on the Twin Towers. One hundred artists from all over the world - many of whom are already well known on an international scale - are the protagonists of this project.
This is the structure of the three chapters:
Timer01: the individual in relation to him or herself;
Timer02: the individual in relation to others;
Timer03: the individual in relation to the architectural environment.
