Lamelas has shaped time as a material throughout his career. He created the performance Time when he was living and working across Europe and wanted to produce artworks that he could easily transport with him. The work consists only of a set of instructions: each participant is to hold 60 seconds of time before passing it to the person next to them. This photograph, which accompanies the performance, documents the first presentation of Time.
