About this artwork
I explore how the emergence of new technologies contributes to the disappearance of old customs and, as a consequence, leads people to fluctuate between the losses and the possible gains that these events entail.
The habit of sending and exchanging correspondence is confronted with the current context, where writing is practiced and is sent through the exchange of messages via cell phone or email. A book-object made up of facsimiles contains part… of the representation of the technology that surpassed them.
More and more people write less, people lose their habit, they do not value beautiful handwriting as in the past; they are secondary effects of progress.
