The neon sign Alejandra Pizarnik by the artist reflects on the present time, which the artist calls “stopped time”. Global phenomena such as the pandemic have aggravated further the impossibility of being in contact with others, apathy and resignation. When Sala speaks about lockdown as that moment of confinement in which we still live, where the remoteness from others is still present, he borrows the words of the Argentine poet Alejandra Pizarnik. To forsake the other, to sacrifice closeness as a silent rebellion.
