In The perception of distance, Guillermo Mena explores the idea of ​​a transitory dwelling in the room, drawing on the wall cloudy skies like ephemeral landscapes. Through a performance action, Mena's clouds will manifest in space as an image in process and in constant transformation, evidencing an insistent desire to preserve a present that is fading.
