Geometry of perception, artificial nature
Exterior light installation
A structure of light vectors, installed outdoors at Nau Côclea, sketch new spaces in the night and prompt both associations among mental abstract structures and everyday awareness of spaces: perspective, distance, strokes, depth, flatness, horizon.
The installation displays the abstract, vectorial and geometrical aspects of our visual perception of objects. The artist juxtaposes sensory nature and the models produced by human abstract intelligence.
The light that shines in the dark prompts spaces sketched out to appear and disappear: these movements point to the mobility of the objects that surround us and to the relationship between both realities.
The optical games and trompe l’oeils are based on the contrast between light and dark. With just the right amount of movement, what is seen acquires forms and dimensions in space that the darkness had hidden. It is thus possible to map the surroundings in the same way as someone who sees the colours of a chameleon change.
These light structures play with the capacity of our senses to adapt; their perception is subjective and depends on each individual’s experience and on the point in space where they occur.
