Invitation
Site specific installation – ALBO program for contemporary art – Modern Art Museum Medellin CO.
Curated by Oscar Roldan Alzate
Nov. 2012 – April 2013
Being striken by Jose Saramago’s book ‘Ensayo sobre la Ceguera’ (‘Essay on Blindness’) and his description of blindness ( …is like a sea of milk), I take this statement as conceptual starting point.
My proposal for the ALBO project departs from the bright characteristics of the space, a big room naturally lit by a large window.
My intention is to stimulate the natural light entering into the space through a series of interventions and objects placed in–situ.
Making use of artificial light spots and mirrors situated on specific locations and visual angles, I’m seeking to produce a state of temporary blindness in the eyes of the visitor.
The excess of light stimulates the presence of photons and their color aspect is in the eyes of the visitor. The spectrum of complementary colors are also reflected on some of the architecture elements in the room, enhancing the bright hue in the room by painting the elements.
I take the general setting of the installation as an informational site, a place that is link to other places, places that I had experienced, and most of them landscape related.
