The content of the information placed in the middle of the frame is lost in a white spot. The meaning of the scene is constituted around its edges and we are trying to grasp it. The picture shows an open sea. The site is Cabo de Roca in Portugal, the westernmost cape of Europe, a place that Luis de Camoes describes, "Here, where the land ends and the sea begins". This landscape is mediated by the image, the original slide is inserted into the single slide viewer device in natural light conditions. The light that penetrates illuminates the scene within, from the "inside" and contributes to the creation of the effect of the projected or screen image. The image is narrativized and the work has been concentrated on the time logic shaping the meditation of the state of flux, transience and nature.
