Piso 23 _ Casa Translúcida
Video performance in Alfons Soldevila´s Translucent House
With this video performance we aimed to concurrently represent three different stages of a single individual, approaching life as a simultaneous event.
The main character is at once a child, an adult and an old man (like in the riddle of the Sphinx) and he is interpreted by three persons: a child, an adult and an old man who are at the same time in real life inside the house and in a virtual one, projected in the house. He is trapped in a journey, in which the figures move around levels which are interconnected by physical stairs and this virtual new elevator for the house, recalling an Escher impossible space.
We turned the vertical pane of the north façade into a kind of virtual reality and the house into an ephemeral world of duplicities, where people are invited to experience, by means of sight and touch, our musings on life and time.
Thanks Simon Riva and Raff Cachin for their production genius !! The flyers were done by Simon. And super special thanks to Barba for introducing me to the swiss, who provided us with so much energy and knowledge with his natural high (who scared Dionis away 😊) and who produced even one of the video projectors!
And thanks to Dionis (videoartist), who assisted me with the project and helped me push it forward. The young 21 years old I was, was a bit lost, but really wanted to intervene Soldevila´s house!
All together we did it !!
