\u201cThe Vanity of Life\u201d is an attempt to account for the time that passed in my intention to address the theme of \u201cVanitas\u201d.<\/p>

The trigger was the anonymous painting \u201cThe Vanity of Life\u201d from the 18th century that is in the National Museum of Fine Arts in the city of Buenos Aires. The iconography in this genre of paintings alludes to the set of objects that symbolize the brevity, the transitory and ephemeral nature of the pleasures of life, the passage of time and the certainty of death and its purpose lies in reminding the observer of their destiny. These paintings were also a justification for many artists to be able to show off their craft, representing beautiful objects where they could display their technical skill.<\/p>

A peach, the hourglass, the candle, mirrors, the flowers, the gauchesco poem by Estanislao del Campo \u201cEl Fausto Criollo\u201d arranged on a table, on a tablecloth\/paper that invited us to write and draw the associations between these elements. they became evident. The photographic record shows the action that I proposed in the workshop given by Gemma Drapper, as an alternative to my inability to present a targeted project that talks about time.<\/p>

Vanitas took me to the idea of \u200b\u200bdeath. The objects, the photographs, the horizontality of the level give an account of my path and the time that passed in this attempt.<\/p>

In the box, Lucifer<\/em>
Hab\u00eda puesto un espejo\u2026<\/em>
-\u00bf Sabe que el Diablo, canejo,<\/em>
La conoce a la mujer?<\/em>

All\u00ed esta ufana la flor,<\/em>
Linda, fresca y olorosa:<\/em>
A ella va la mariposa,<\/em>
A ella vuela el picaflor<\/em>
\u2026<\/em>
\u00a1L\u00e1stima causa esa flor,<\/em>
Al verla tan consentida!<\/em>
Cree que es tan larga su vida<\/em>
Como fragante su olor.<\/em><\/p>
