The most common definition of the 1990s is the “transitional period”, which means that it was a time between times. In the realms of politics and art, that time was fertile for flamboyant and megalomaniac projects, which quickly collapsed unrealized and were substituted by new projects, equally flamboyant and megalomaniac. There were endless projects and changes without clear ends, and ends were missing because those projects and changes were endless. The 1990s were a decade of transition which endlessly prolonged the transitionary phase, avoiding reaching the point of destination; that was a timeless time, permanently enjoying the present moment.
