Interstices: where the sun traces time is a project conceived for Exhibition Hall D at Es Baluard Museu d’Art Contemporani de Palma. Starting with an elemental gesture—looking at the sun—Aina Albo Puigserver devises a visual exploration where light is turned into the measure, material and writing of time. The exhibition proposes a shift that goes beyond walls, the city and what is visible, where each piece works like a new orientation point, a new “you are here” inscribed not onto a physical map but onto an internal, abstract map of the universe.

In this exhibition, interstices—those minimal, fragile and often imperceptible spaces between one instant and the next, between a point of light and its displacement—become an area of research. Albo understands them as sites of appearance: cracks that reveal a way of knowing that is not immediate, but rather silent and accumulative. Interstices are thus the places where something begins to happen. Where time is made visible.

The analemma, that curve shaped like a figure eight that the sun moves along over the course of a year, becomes the guiding feature of this exhibition. The artist reminds us that this figure is not real, but rather a projection of movement: writing in light. Through her own, particular geometric language, Aina Albo invites us to inhabit these interstices and reflect on the variability of human perception of time and space. Her compositions take nature as a vehicle for abstract thinking. The shapes and materials she includes—glass, wood, varnishes, glazes—arise from her own careful observation of natural phenomena, enunciating a dialogue between measure and intuition.

The exhibition itself is conceived as a processual experiment, where time is not just represented but registered in the material. As with the analemma, her work reminds us that time is not linear, but rather a living curve that draws itself out while we observe it. In this intermediate space—where the sun traces time—perception becomes a form of knowledge and the world opens up like a space charged with interstices: spaces where visible and invisible are in dialogue.
