Circuito celeste: los tiempos del cielo y de la oscuridad (Sky circuit) and Time ruler (1596 – 2018) - date Julian: 2458283,513889 (2018)
The work is a map of the displacement of starts over time, considering the date of Quemadero de la inquisición (Bonfire of the inquisition - 1596 to 1771) which was held in front of the old monastery, today LAA, and the current date of Alameda Circuit exhibition (2018).
Directly printed on the wall, the Sky Circuit refers to Mexican codices, manuscripts of the large pre-colonial civilizations with reports that recorded the history, the ideology and the soul of indigenous peoples of the Americas. One of these codices was transcribed to colonizers under the title “Los templos del cielo y de la oscuridad: oráculos y liturgia”. Here we replaced “temple” by “time” in the ancient Monastery San Diego (currently LAA) in front of which the Catholic Church equipment and its Quemadero was installed.
Beside the wall engraved with the Sky Circuit we have a Box with a “time ruler” submersed in water, representing the distance covered by stars in the period (1596-2018). This ruler was used to produce the work Sky Circuit, as measure of displacement of stars over time.
