Photographic and chronological documentation of spectators contemplating the masterpieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

The nostalgic act of contemplating the artwork reveals the perception of time and its quantitative value. This photograph is divided into four planes: the artwork, the spectator, the photographer, and the observer of the picture. Each plane offers a distinct and profound dimension of human interaction with art, capturing the ephemeral essence of the aesthetic experience and the transformation of time into a complex and evocative visual narrative, offering a profound reflection on the interaction between the spectator and the artwork, as well as on the temporal dimension of this experience.
