[El cielo está, por encima del techo, / tal azul, tan calmo] | Sebastián Arancibia

 

[El cielo está, por encima del techo / tan azul, tan calmo.] [The sky above the roof / Is so blue, so calm!.] is the second part of the trilogy that began with “The poetic reverie, on the contrary…”, in which the image of the house is explored from a quotation found in a book by the philosopher Gaston Bachelard. 

If, in the first part, the search for the house was produced by the visual conformation of its façade – obtained from photographic archives due to the impossibility of obtaining this image due to the quarantine – in this second part, the skies seen from inside the house are the only photographs that make up this book. 

As a tribute to On Kawara’s million years, this publication acts as a hand-stamped calendar of those monotonous days of confinement, whose only variable element was, in many cases, looking out of the window and noticing the clouds, their changing shapes, their colors.
