Lives in Montevideo
Statement
Appart Paris presents the work of Eduardo CARDOZO that reflects on the theme of « time » that never ceases to attract men, since in it the mystery of the meaning of the human being, of becoming, is reflected.
Through these still lifes it is about feeling and experiencing the network of divergent times that builds the idea of the «Between», that unthinkable realm, that fleeting moment, that part of time that is ephemerally eternal.
From the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, the "between" designates the abysmal Medium of the original intimacy of Being itself, in which it is removed and cleared.
In this unpublished series of oil paintings by Eduardo Cardozo, each of the pieces speaks about the moment where the action stops (the "between") in a key moment in the realm of the unthinkable. That plot of time that is immobilized and then encompasses all possibilities.
