An imagined future
or the imagination of the future presupposes the fragility of the present, understood as the sum of past and future in a continuous becoming. The notion of time and space leads back to the theme of proportions and their dynamics, where every measure is a relation and every relation a transformation.

The singularity of the case allows for a perspectival vision of the world according to predetermined ‘points of view’, in which space-time alterations are governed by mathematical-geometric rules. From the Classical to the Modern, the ‘representative vision’ of reality, defined perspectivally, shifts toward a different reality, altered by the interrogative molecules of the new.

The succession of representational models, in their temporal relations, disconnects the function of the eye from that of the mind, in individual moments of existence. Once renewed, the visual-mental representation overturns the previous one, probing the boundless undergrounds of sky and earth that dwell within us.

Thus, the executive moment is entrusted to the machine, mechanical substitute of the organic material, while the ‘mental’ moment is preserved in the corporeal-spiritual activities of the human, in their continuous being within the dynamics of space.
