PORTAL
LED & SOUND INSTALLATION
2016
"Portal” is a light-sound installation inspired by the nature of dimensional gates and fantastic symbolism created by writer Cervantes Saavedra and poet León de Greiff. This piece simulates a spatio-temporal space where sounds, shapes and lights are connected to create a place that evokes ethereal, spiritual, cosmic and astral experiences like a bridge between the real and the intangible.
This artwork mix the concepts of "The Owl room" created by leon de Greiff and "The cave of Montesinos" created by Cervantes Saavedra, both spaces are associated with magical, oneiric and surreal ideas where the main characters, Quijote de la mancha and Gaspar de la noche, used to go to travel to another dimensions.
Meantime the structure's geometry represents a quartz or Quijo (Quixote/Quijote) as it was known by Amerindian cultures and it displays a floating face that changes its appearance depending on the light influence and in thid way it symbolizes the double quantum who habits in the multidimensional space housing the possible futures.
The installation offers an experience based on the artistic baroque practice widely used by Cervantes and de Greiff in their literary treatment of the unreal.
