“Invisible permanence of the monument” creates a large concrete refuge between space and us that resembles a large-scale minimalist sculpture, creating a dialogue about what surrounds us and what we experience, how the daily changes and the spaces in the modern environments, how we inhabit, we cohabit and we appropriate them, thus maintaining a position of strangeness that in such way the past is not totally past or present only present, rather, as if they were ghosts occupying at the same time the same place and that speak of the passage of time as a transmuting factor and as a constituent element of our experience in the world, as if we lived a future condition and raising a sharp question about how we relate in this time and what to do with the present.
