Intervention in the church of Castell d'Ulldecona with a luminic installation that invites to be guided by the hours of the day while concentrating and expanding the light, filtering or reflecting it to create new forms and new spaces.

Newton was portrayed again and again in a darkened room, as a narrow beam of light passed through a window until it reached a prism placed before his serene and penetrating eyes. From the prism came a rainbow that illuminated the air and projected onto the opposite wall. The scene represented the analysis of light, the extraordinary moment in which Newton had seen it divided into its << minimum elements >>.

Fragment from the book Capture the Light of Arthur Zajonc.

First image, engraved from the 19th century dark camera.

When the sky is cloudy, the sunlight filtering system created for the installation allows to create a darkroom.
The darkroom produces an image on a flat surface of a fully darkened room. The projected image is in color, very bright and reflects inverted what is happening outside the room, at this very moment (real and moving images).
