Leaking through the pages of this book made out of objects, you are going to discover a character.  You are not going to see any description, or any image of her, but nevertheless, she will always be present. Her feelings are inside these objects and her tears fell down on them. She is the character from a script not yet finished, an open book of  frozen moments that gives you the possibility of beginning to read or to make your own movie.

An imaginary character is coming closer through its fingerprints , from the details between the surfaces, to make references to feelings, like forgiveness, the passing of time and the futility of the intention. Furniture that show, apparently, the trace of use and the corrosion of time. A confusing game that through a variety of technics and strategies question aspects like perception , or the value between what we are expecting to see and what we aré actually seeing.. the change of evaluation experienced when discovering that they aré actually detailed preparations, and that the materials used to elaborate them aré not what they should be
