Exhibition in real time...
7:11 p.m.
02/26/19 - A few days ago we’ve been invited to take part of the shooting and developing of a photograph. The entire process was done by an artist while several situations occurred at the same time:
- First: a performance in which a visitor is placed in front of the lens to be portrayed by the artist and then sees the developing process in the dark room.
- Second: the objects used for the process (lenses, buckets, tripods, etc.) played a key role, which we barely notice when we see the finished photo on display.
- Third: we were not just spectators but active participants of the entire process: we were placed in front of the lens and then invited to see our image appear in the dark room.
- Forth: the role played by the artist, Vivian Galban, author and accomplice of this complex, interactive and social game of relational art, as defined by Nicolás Bourriaud.
- Fifth: the installation or “the environment” (according to Joseph Beuys), which occupies the gallery had the doble function of framing the action and also providing a space for it to happen.
- Sixth: the development of the aura (that knot that traps us when we are close to an artwork), even if it’s a photograph, almost rejecting Walter Benjamin.

"Exposición en tiempo real” is the title and, at the same time, the explanation for this game in which we are involved for a few moments.
