Contextos de Exhibición de un Marco Negro (2007-)

From the outside, all that is seen is a 50 x 63 x 13 cm. frame with the glass painted black; it's the kind of frame normally used in Buenos Aires to show photographs.
Inside there is a large format pinhole camera. This is used every time the frame is shown to take a picture of the context in which it has been exhibited.
The piece thus keeps a record of its own history.
