| Description | In what way can a work of art be ephemeral? When we look at a work of art through the lens of human anatomy, we speak of fleeting existential principles. Degradation and transformation is characteristic of both the human body and the work of art. Ephemerality describes a new sensibility creating the conditions for the work to follow its own destiny - it is the result of a creative process where it finds itself in a constant state of transformation. The permanence and changeability of the physical material, then, may not be what sets the boundary of its invariability. So is it all about process? Can touch and sight be the ephemeral permanence of a work of art? Seeing shapes ephemeral perception, as a memorialisation of the very event that the final artwork was preceded by the process of its creation. Is it possible to speak of an imaginative reconstruction of the artistic process through seeing hands, touching eyes, and reflexive imagination? The viewer finds himself or herself at the interface of seeing and knowing when reconstructing a work of art - can he or she determine what is the boundary between the two? Can it be the touch itself? |
