In All Good Spies Are My Age, Juan Dominguez refigures temporality by staging a creative process which combines three simultaneous yet divergent times: the performing time, the cinematographic time, and the "real" time, itself made of the biological and the chronological.
Dominguez's pseudo-scientific desire to understand the creative process through formulas combining space, time, movement, and identity - always approached with humor and a critical sense - is comparable to the film editors' fascination for binding together unconnected shots while keeping a certain coherence. What is fascinating here is not the result of a perfect continuity from one shot to the next, but the action of stretching the limits of continuity as far as possible, until the space between shots imposes itself, possibly opening the way to unknown perceptions. But, unlike what happens in cinema, in All Good Spies Are My Age, time - and space - is not suppressed but invented. It is built from the combination of three simultaneous times: the performing time (Juan Dominguez sitting at his table), the cinematographic time (cards passing on the screen) and, say, the real time, double as it is: chronological, objective on the one hand (the piece takes place from eight to nine); biological or subjective on the other (it varies, stretches, and contracts, depending on the individual mental and emotional experience). - Isabel de Naverán
