Through a live action and a series of drawings the intense and fragile temporal condition of the fugitive - be it political, social, climate, psychological, or imagined - reveals itself through the 'encounter' in an uncertain zone of the planet. The experience develops across an infinite day around a rock, a speaker, a dancer and a dog, invited by the artist to share the same space and the same tensions. Little and continuous events emerge from the coexistence of the four presences and the diffusion of thoughts becomes an intrinsic, vivid and provocative sculptural element with which the speaker creates synapses between the external world and the event itself; while the dancer transforms sound, tensions and his relation with time in a dialectic of movements.
