'From/Since Time Immemorial' was a performance carried out in daily cycles throughout fifteen days, staging a mythological narrative of the weaving of destiny. This act materialised through a set of repetitive actions - circular movements, perfect and imperfect, using the body and the chains installed in the space as writing tools in time and on the sand.

The exhibition, a multimedia installation, consisted of a sandbank, which occupied the floor of the gallery, and 180 metres and 60kg of tangled metal chains suspended and intertwined, as well as a sound piece, a video work and a website. These traces enunciated the possibilities of the image of destiny as a sign that conveys time as immersion, but a time no longer thought of as something necessarily sequential and continuous, but rather as a profoundly heterogeneous dimension, simultaneously individual and collective.
