Modern physics – its quantum theory of loops – teaches us that time is – if it is something resembling what we imagine it to be – a thermodynamic reality, an improbable and limited concept, the name we confer on our inability to see the complex web of interactions that, following improbable rules, make up reality: the frozen past, that which occurs in place of the improbable passage of heat from a cold to a warm body, reality as occurrence, the granular texture of what happens, whose synchrony is, or may not be, sudden and absolute.
Because a different past is born at every moment of the elastic future, it could be argued that Toni Llena’s work has, among others and like any other, various moments of origin, at least two originary scenes. I recall one of them in the following manner, as narrated by the protagonist: the founding professors...of Eina, Barcelona’s legendary school of art and design convened to celebrate those beginnings with some personal interventions. Toni Llena had planned a performance with a discreet play of mirrors placed on the exterior of the building with its large glass windows, so that at a certain moment the sun would cause a prodigious refraction – reflections and prisms – at the place of that meeting.
