Timely is structured around three moments that correspond to other such points on a complex temporal axis conceived of in terms of past-present-future. A set of jars of Serralves honey, that the public can buy... The work done by the bees is now shown as a consumer object. In a second moment, this photograph is exhibited and duplicated, ...transported to the 21st century... This contrasts with the image and value of the scientific knowledge associated with display of culture phials of Bacillus Cereus (live bacteria), referred to laboratory processes of rediscovery of the process of life and all its genetic possibilities.

FERNANDES Joćo, September 1996.
