We have the power to choose, reads the emphatic statement by Marie Orensanz, inscribed on an iron plaque. A simple typeface in lower case is a clear indication of the intention to elude any authority and blend into the urban landscape. Orenzanz has chosen this form of conceptual proposal to attract people’s attention: whether with her Thinking is a revolutionary deed in the Buenos Aires Park of Memory, or when she places us Beyond time with her thicket of statuesque clock-hands, harking back to clocks from different times and places. Here in Tucuman, what is laid bare is one’s ability to choose. Her works invite us to take a pause, to interact with the dull metal sheets and reconstruct her idea, one she has posed before us with the certainty that whoever walks past her work will continue on their way with her words echoing in their mind.
