While we are standing still, the Earth spins at 1700 km/h and rotates the sun at 108 000 km/h. The sun rotates around the centre of the Milky Way at 880 000 km/h, and the galaxy itself travels at 3 600 000 km/h. So we –and everything around– are moving at approx. 78 000 km/h. 1300 km/s. What if we could really stop? The work reflects on the impossibility of stopping and on the perception we have of movement and time, completely biased by our senses and on the very motion of the universe itself. It questions our illusion of control –of space, of time, and ultimately, of nature– and our role as inhabitants of an infinite and continuous fast pacing interconnected reality that keeps moving, travelling, changing and evolving, even when it seems completely static. To stop it is illusionary. Confinements, quarantines and social distances –the world keeps moving, nature keeps running. We are just pawns in the game.
