Measuring, documenting, cataloging, and calculating are habits surrounding Rodrigo Spinel's practice, with which he tries to organize the world through effort, endurance and precision. Implicit in this order is the purpose of recording his time in each line.

In this selection of works, we find the artist preoccupation about time expressed in different ways. In one of them, Spinel wonders how we assign value to things by redrawing fragments of valuable objects in terms of money, exchanging, the ' pesos oro', for lines that tell about the laboriousness of a drawing. On the other hand, associated with the value of time, in his most recent exercises, he makes an ode to the shadow, sensing it as the phenomenon that revealed the passage of time to humans; in these, he draws only the shadow projected by imaginary solid structures, as a way of reminding himself that everything is in movement no matter how stable it may seem. Finally, balancing the precise and careful world of geometric and representational drawing, a series of involuntary drawings on paper appear as a result of removing ink excess from the fineliners, which end up by condensing more time than any other of his calculated drawings.

In the end, after finding the promise of material happiness to be false, the deductive account of time is revealed as a creative force, and, at the same time, as the most precious resource because of its imminent caducity.
