Evoked Potentials declares the ephemeral nature of life. It highlights, through slides, time in relation to light images from a personal archive, a life story; two decades of travel and personal memories. It unfolds in the windows of the space, releasing the light contained in these images. The space is then illuminated with two moments of light: the one trapped in the slides and the one directly from the sun entering
through the window. This is the San Jorge pavilion, inside the laboratory at San Juan de Dios Hospital in Bogotá, in an atmosphere created by stained glass that approaches the sacred. It is this light that envelops the viewer. A slide projector displays the handwriting of a doctor revealing his travels, places, an inventory of life that blends among drawings, scientific texts, and evoked potentials. Similarly, the sound of the projector marks a rhythmic, vital sound over the space and a periodic table from another era, dust-laden.
