Description

A candle holder rendered in blood red steel is mounted onto the wall as an altar panel painting that folds closed to simulate a medical cabinet. The candle supported by the metal structure is pierced by nails at different heights marking time intervals in a contemporary rendition of the ancient candle alarm clock. Deliberately syncretic, the object references themes of ancient ritual and religious practices while addressing modernist values of asepsis. As the candle shortens the melting wax releases the nails onto the cabinet’s metal plate which drop with loud “clings”. This moment marks a sudden fractionalization of an otherwise fluid condition of time. A suspension of a state of temporal leisure into that of pragmatic count; palpably evidencing differences between Henry Bergson’s concepts of “objective time”: the time of watches, timetables, calendars, with that of “duration” (la durée); lived time, time felt and acted measured by subjective experience.
This edition of Wax Clock with a drawbridge stairway was made especially for the context of Mexican Day of the Dead. Each step represents a different destiny in the prehispanic tradition, through which time in this case can split into alternate paths.

PANORAMMMA’S POETICS OSCILLATE BETWEEN DISCIPLINES, WHILE FOCUSING ON A CRUCIAL POINT OF CONTEMPORARY SENSIBILITY: THE EXPANDING PATHOLOGY OF THE CONCRETE, THE ALIENATION OF EVERYDAY LIFE AND THE SPACE THAT ABSTRACTION OCCUPIES IN THE SOCIAL SPHERE. PANORAMMMA’S DESIGNS DELVE INTO THESE THEMES BY EXPLORING PAST VISIONS OF THE FUTURE AND CREATING THE MYTH OF MEMORY. BUILDING ON OUR PAST AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCES THROUGH NEW VISUAL NARRATIVES. PANORAMMMA DOES NOT SEEK TO CREATE OBJECTS THAT EXIST APART FROM EVERYDAY EXPERIENCE AS MUSEUM PIECES, BUT OBJECTS TO BE LIVED AND USED. THESE OBJECTS REQUIRE A CCOMMITMENT ON THE PART OF THE VIEWER SO THAT AS A USER THEY FACILITATE THE FULFILMENT OF THEIR OBJECTIVE TASKS. ACTIVATING THEM BY S I T TING ON THEM, EATING WITH THEM, DRINKING FROM THEM, TURNING THEM ON, TURNING THEM OFF, CARESSING THEM, SLEEPING WITH THEM, WAKING UP TO THEM. ALLOWING THESE OBJECTS TO INTIMATELY AFFECT OUR BEHAVIOURS AND TO BE AFFECTED BY THEM. PANORAMMMA PURSUES THE CREATION OF OBJECTS THAT GENERATE FISSURES FROM WFROM WHICH FANTASY SPILLS INTO OUR REALITY AND INFORMS AN IMAGINATIVE PLAY; A SCENOGRAPHY FROM PARALLEL FICTION. PSEUDO PROPS. PANORAMMMA CREATES ACTORS THROUGH WHOSE PRESENCE AND PERFORMATIVE ABILITY CAN CREATE OF OUR DOMESTIC SPACES UNUSUAL SCENARIOS. TESTIMONIES OF A REFUSAL TO LIVE ORDINARILY. MAIKA PALAZUELOS;(DESIGNER AND DIRECTOR) INITIATED PANORAMMMA DURING THE CONFINEMENT WITH THE INTENTION OF CREATING A PERMEABLE AND OPEN PLATFORM FOR DESIGN EXPLORATION.
