Intensities seeking expression
artist in residence at Sporoble (Quebec), 2018
This installation consists of two exercises of abstraction that collapses in a mass of images and shapes. One is the translation of footage of a body moving, to a matrix of lights. The other is the translation of the brightness of a digital image of snow texture into a topography composed of five gradient heights. The meshing materials are a translucent plastic fabric and salt. The salt grains were separated through a mechanic system to obtain four different “resolutions” of salt. The result is an ever-changing topography of light and color that configures something visually familiar and strange at the same time.trailer
