12k film lamp, four monitors
Centre d’Art Santa Monica, Barcelona, 2004
A 12KW HMI film light illuminates the space, creating a light
which is physically extreme, the viewers movement and the detail
of the space becomes the subject, the light concentrating our
perception of this. Four monitors with footage that play with
this sense of light, a flare being lit on the outskirts of the
city, a lightbulb being swung in the studio, a hand shielding
eyes from light. This footage is shown in positive and negative,
underlining the viewers sense of the visible and invisible. |
