Installation, diptych.
Engraving on aluminum, ornamental iron hooks,
180x20x5 cm each.

The work is structured as a textual diptych, relating two different descriptions of the same scenario: one based on human imagination, and the other on an algorithmic recording. The first sentence, "The coldness of the moon steals you away, silently, while you sleep" conveys the human perspective: a poetic, sensitive and emotional perception that evokes an intimate nocturnal experience that is difficult to define, leaving the viewer with a subjective image. In contrast, the second sentence, "Body surface exposed to constant nocturnal radiation", translates the same phenomenon into algorithmic language, offering a technical, analytical and impersonal perspective akin to an emotionless scientific recording.

The phrases are engraved on aluminium plates that are suspended from the wall by ornamental hooks. When placed in different rooms, they form an intermittent yet continuous work that occupies multiple spaces and is constructed in the memory of the viewer. There is no concrete frame; the work does not show images, but evokes them. It is the reader who completes the scene with their imagination, thus transforming the text into an inner image. The materials also reinforce the conceptual tension. The cold, industrial engraved aluminium recalls the logic of technical recording and the permanence of information. In contrast, the ornamental hooks introduce a domestic and fragile element — a human detail that contrasts with the metallic rigidity.

Although the two sentences describe the same event in irreconcilable languages, when read together, they generate a single poetic texture. Man and machine do not cancel each other out; rather, they complement each other, like two parallel registers that intertwine. Similarly, the coldness of metal cannot exist without the fragile counterpoint of its ornamental support. The work is therefore an impossible photograph: an image that cannot be captured by any lens and which never reveals itself in its entirety, but rather manifests itself as a shared evocation. This is a two-voice poem in which sensitivity and calculation chase each other without ever meeting. This creates an invisible image for the reader to construct for themselves.
