This installation recreates the space of a living room, marked by apparent temporal contradictions and clues leading us in opposite directions. It includes a television set from the 1980s and a pair of chairs designed in the 1930s, in a version copied 30 years later. Despite the bourgeois ambience of the domestic setting, the image on the screen evokes the avant-garde tradition of static cinema, which contrasted the culture of the spectacle with silence, inertia and waiting – a mode of attention closer to painting or photography. Penalva emphasises the cultural power of television to structure time and attention, social relations and daily routines, infiltrating this evidence with the rebellious gestures of experimental cinema.
