David Jiménez, Tiempo Cero, 2022

Tiempo cero is a book that proposes a singular alliance between the sequence of stills from an audiovisual produced by David Jiménez and a chapter from the novel Lo demás es aire by Juan Gómez Bárcena, which here adopts a sort of versified form. Within a game of seemingly random permutations, the subtle combination of these images illuminates hidden resonances and symmetries. The selected fragment of the Cantabrian writer’s work establishes a singular dialogue with the images, and from a geological perspective confronts the very human impossibility of conceiving the passage of time.
