21st May 2012, University of Essex, England

Students looking for their classes to start the studies of this week. Meanwhile, in the university art gallery, I am looking at the video art work of Oscar Muñoz,  Line of Destiny. In which one sees how his hand is filling up with water again and again. The artist, as Narcissus, repeatedly examines his reflection. In a kind of ritual his reflection is “slipping” through his fingers and disappears. I could feel with this work how fragile the presence is.
