Every painting of the Animated Gif series represents an example of the small animations displayed while a computer is loading or executing a task. The original purpose of these animated graphics is to show the user that the machine is working. The displacement of a common visual sign only displayed when using a computer is the starting point of a critical attitude towards usual expectations about a painting. Each piece in the Cover flow series is a sort moment of non-existence of an image. Beyond its irony, its absurdity and its improbability it opens a questioning about our expectations towards the exhibition of a picture.
