Marco Giannotti /// Sculpting the Time. Eder Santos.

In Janaúba (1993) a snake twists by the streets heading to the horizon. The image is repeated several times, we have the sensation that its effort is useless. Like in Sysiphus, the stone returns to the top of the mountain and the snake must continue moving through the street. Time seems to be suspended due to the granulated image, blown-up by the excess of light.
A naked woman comes down the stairs in a continuous mode. The stairs, like a labirynth – seems to have no end. Images interpolated from the landing area of a plane place the observer as a pilot conducting his machine. In this case the observer voyeur of Nude Descending a Staircase by Marcel Duchamp in invited to participated in the scene. A scene which has no beginning or end, the nude returns to the top of the stairs and we are taken once again to mark our senses with buoys. In Distorções contidas (2005), an etheral atmospheres emerges amongst fragments of broken glass where the images are projected. Contrary to the airports where time is minutely kept, here time is ever changing. Curious is the fact that Duchamp's work was rejected by the cubist group precisely for longing for the forth dimension, time.
