Peter Demetz
1969, Bolzano, Italy
The Italian artist Peter Demetz considers that the essential elements of our universe are time and space, nothing can exist without them, that sometimes we lose the perception of these elements in our life, in our own world. We build houses, we divide them into different rooms, we measure time, trying to divide it into different parts. We design space and plan time; we try to control time, but we will never succeed.
Our life is organized in different spaces, buildings, rooms, our time is divided in minutes even in seconds, from his works Peter Demetz raises a series of questions in which he addresses the possibility of society feeling part of an infinite space, creating the option of imagining our time as an endless flow, or being able to not divide time into hours, minutes or seconds and thus conceive time in a different way.
