"CUBOS"
versión en español
Cubos is an installation that uses beams of concentrated halogen light projected through photoliths to create shadows of hands and arms on the walls.
In the digital age, reproductions no longer have an original and reality has been condemned to an existence secondary to that of processed images. These images seem increasingly real and what is real seems more and more unreal. The projected arms of the Cubos series are attempting to liberate themselves from the technology that produced them, from the "black box" that created them, and thus release themselves from the constraints of the physical world. The ghostly arms reach out to touch the inscrutable dimensions of an universe of representations, trying to familiarize themselves with the new space-time coordinates of the digital age.
