Reseña del editor

Artists play a fundamental role as mirrors of society and can, in particular, give expression to specific corners of the world in our global economy. Timer 1 presents the work of eighty international artists from all generations. The overarching theme of this volume is "Intimità/Intimacy" and deals with the relationship the artist has with him/herself in the age of the telecommunications revolution. All works date from September 11th, 2001, a date forever stamped in our memories and a turning point in our history. Timer 1 explores the interior spaces of a new social context created after the attack on the Twin Towers.
