MAURO GIACONI

Temporal ventaja

   AUG.31.2025 – FEB.2026

The installation Temporal ventaja (Temporary Advantage) by Mauro Giaconi, commissioned by Arte Abierto, transforms the space into a shipyard that welcomes us onto a large-scale ship, stranded in a shopping mall, in a waterless lake-adjacent city. How did a vessel of this scale end up here?

Temporal ventaja

A tale weaver and storyteller in his own right, Giaconi provokes and challenges our perception of reality and matter. He creates unique worlds and contexts using a powerful tool: graphite, combined with the strength of the collective.

 

Giaconi conceives drawing as a portable haven and containment space. Through this medium, he expands into other disciplines—such as sculpture and installation—exploring these constructions from the fragility of matter as a latent force. In this project, the ship stands as a vessel of stories and tools, a space of transit and protection posing the question: Is this a place of arrival or departure?

 

Temporal ventaja invites us to pause in suspended time where reality and fiction collide, to question accepted truths in a present time marked by uncertainty and lies. On this journey, that which is real weakens and constantly blurs, but Giaconi gives us the coordinates to “doubt everything” and go back to the origins of human knowledge and wisdom.
