English abstract:
The work "waiting", is a reflection upon the technologically enhanced, the mediated body, and its relation to the world of matter.

"waiting" depicts a female performer almost standing still in an obvious loop of 30 seconds duration, projected on a wall, that displays the traces of its age. The performer's small movements appear in relationship with the structure of the wall, as if she wanted to synchronize herself with that world that knows the truly ephemeral - history - and with it, memory and dream.

There is a place.
