Savia Solaris (2018)
Immersive Video Installation
A room that works as a big walk-in camera obscura. Plants. Mirrors. Video projectors.
Manufactured clocks that operate as shutters. Apertures on the wall. Lenses.
Solo show commissioned by Museo la Tertulia as part of Program C
in alliance with the Museum of Modern Art of Medellín.
Spectators enter a room that operates as a large camera obscura. The image on the wall is generated by light only, with no camera or projection devices. It shows the immediate landscape as an upside-down image. The apertures that create the large image are equipped with a mechanism that closes them every five minutes. Thus, the image on the wall appears for five minutes and then disappears for the same amount of time. Inside the room, spectators can find four additional image situations: a projection on a plant leaf, a projection on the edge of a mirror, a projection bounced off a mirror, and a projection reflected off a plant in water.
