“It is the sun – an unfathomable metaphor for the time that flees – that rescues them from their perishable materiality. It is the sun that frees them from capital. The sun leaves its impression on these papers, voluntarily forgotten and given over to nature’s care, to mark their hesitations, their retreats, their distractions. The sun leaves its impression – handless – on these papers, revealing their liberation. Your shadow. That we can never ever grab and sell. These works thus become a performance triggered by time and disappear in it. They will never be imprisoned, and they will never betray their ontology. Free, unpredictable, untamed, they will create their own ontology. Their ontology of the shadow.” — Rui Pina Coelho in “The performance of time: the ontology of the shadow”
