MINUTA PARA UN ESTANQUE 
Installation, variable dimensions
Projections on water and sound.
2014

Minute for a Pond presents a series of visual fragments captured on video from reflections on the water. The enumeration and arrangement of these images together construct the notion of a place.

The installation consists of five videos projected—some directly onto the water’s surface, others reflected onto the walls of the space. Simultaneously, a hydrograph records the accumulation of moisture in the environment through drawing, while the repetitive sound of a frog creates ripples on the water, activating its surface.

The images reveal fleeting and precise details: the movement of insects, the slow passage of clouds, a confrontation between a spider and a dragonfly, and multiple reflections of the aquatic landscape. The projections are cast onto particular architectural elements—corners, under staircases, nooks—where the image distorts and becomes a painterly form that echoes its own reflection, breaking the traditional rectangular frame of the video and opening up a new visual poetics.

The frog’s sound, made visible through the pond’s ripples, accompanies the projections, generating a sensation of expansion and continuity, as if time and image were infinitely prolonged upon the water.

Minuta para un estanque presenta una serie de fragmentos visuales capturados en video a partir de reflejos en el agua. La enumeración y disposición de estas imágenes construyen conjuntamente la noción de un lugar.

La instalación consiste en cinco videos proyectados: algunos directamente sobre la superficie del agua, otros reflejados en las paredes del espacio. Simultáneamente, un hidrógrafo registra la acumulación de humedad en el entorno a través del dibujo, mientras que el sonido repetitivo de una rana genera ondas en el agua, activando su superficie.

Las imágenes revelan detalles fugaces y precisos: el movimiento de los insectos, el lento paso de las nubes, el encuentro entre una araña y una libélula, y múltiples reflejos del paisaje acuático. Las proyecciones se proyectan sobre elementos arquitectónicos específicos —esquinas, bajo escaleras, rincones— donde la imagen se distorsiona y adquiere una forma pictórica que hace eco de su propio reflejo, rompiendo el marco rectangular tradicional del video y abriendo una nueva poética visual.

El sonido de la rana, hecho visible a través de las ondas en el estanque, acompaña las proyecciones, generando una sensación de expansión y continuidad, como si el tiempo y la imagen se prolongaran infinitamente sobre el agua.
