AUTHOR'S FOREWORD

Regarding the title, this is the meaning derived from the image of time, the reason can be said in advance: it isn´t a metaphor because its meaning is literal, time has images that aren´t few because they´re precisely all; as a space that contains everything based on the same and the different. The world is made to be observed, it´s for this reason, the extensive and active field of form and movement, which is the product of things in time; as is the succession that follows from every process. This means that every image is a function of time, generating and transforming things that, when viewed, become conscious meanings. But it can also be said with the same right, that this time is the consequent result of a meaning-creating process; leaving both possibilities as the terms of an equation - different, symmetric and equivalent. This relationship isn´t accidental, since every construction is made of quantities, proportions and intensities that can be calculated. And because the world is characterized by the logic of a mathematical order, directly associated with the mystique that´s followed by elements that can be both concrete and imaginary, on a reality elaborated with numerical entities and geometric procedures.
