5 Hours Behind
Claudia Guixot

On May 14th, 2025, Claudia Guixot inaugurated her exhibition entitled 5 Hours Behind as part of the ´aceNITE event, which also featured works by Alicja & Adam Panasiewicz (Poland) and Ana Dulce (Argentina, who received a fellowship to participate in the Carapantallas Project). Present at ´ace thanks to the collaboration with CCEBA and due to the award she received at the Open Portfolio FIG Bilbao 2024, Claudia Guixot presented to the public the results of the exploration in matters of light and materials that she produced during her residency. In addition, in the run-up to the opening, Claudia gave a workshop at the ´ace studio entitled Migrating Images, in which the artist shared the technique she developed in her doctoral research thesis.

The exhibition text that Claudia wrote for her exhibition, which took over the Dialogue Space and the Central Hall of the ´ace studio, was written by the artist herself and described her practice as follows: “In order to observe and capture images, the intervention of light is necessary, a factor that makes it possible to retain in memory the information that surrounds reality. Capturing light starts from an unstable source, dematerialized by the digital world, which processes the data that is transferred and translated so that it can be understood through the screen. As Juan Martín Prada points out, a digital image is reproduced at the moment of each of its viewings, that is, there is no viewing of the work without a simultaneous reproduction on the viewer’s own screen. That is why the only way to give stability to the image is to fix it on a support, give it body and weight, granting it a physical space to give it a chance to be revisited outside the digital space, through the artistic practice of the transfer process using inkjet printing systems created by the artist herself.
