There is a box of light. Where sun light comes from? I am thinking of that, there is no way to keep it just there. I feel trapped.

The space is divided into two in a smoothly and delicate shape. Behind the altar, in the area of the choir, a warm and soft space, this cools forward, where the parishioners belong. There are different feelings for different spaces.
The lights are mixed in the middle of the scene creating shapes that resemble the atmosphere and colors of a kaleidoscope

Place away and hidden from the activity and hurry of the city of Madrid. It is a hiding-place of few privileged who know the sanctuary. The movement created by the natural light colors represents here the active side and noise of the relentlessly city.Contrast to the calm and peace that the real space projects.

Space is an accomplished loneliness. Light is the main element of the set. It's a magical and divine light that creates materiality. It generates a human presence as the position of God, as creator of light, a light from above, being close to people from a higher and descendant position.

Title_ Strips of materials

The composition of strips allows the user to feel the light inside the building through the materiality. Everything is shining by natural light. Bricks broke their hard and cheap materiality by the beautiful intervention of light. The skylights shown lively colours in the inside although it exterior look doesn’t reveal such a huge game of contrast and beauty.

The light passes through the windows creating abstract paintings inside that looks en between the paintings of Mondrian and art-work installations.
Light that merges gaudy and intense colors that connect the space with superhuman strength.

Title_ show light

Photographer_ Ana González Granja

Before the performance starts Light changes thousands of times, colour is supposed to be brighter and reddish, a point light is placed the other way around not enhancing the main issue in the room. People are nervous and moving faster than ever. A little bit upwards, a bit to the right. Shouts everywhere, mixed together with the coldness and darkness of the place, just some small areas of the rooms are warm, due to the activity and the temperature of the lamps. Contrast of temperature and colour.

Title_ crack on the wall

Photographer_ Ana González

First thing you see when you look right to it, is the unreal object generated by light. It is pure and simple, but effective. Light allows architecture to talk with its heart, and say that what is created is beautiful, because there is no word that explains better something fleeting that can be just capture in a moment.

Title_ Brightness

Light landmark in Madrid’s sky. Shy sign in a Saturday morning. Buildings start to wake up in between they soft sheets. Shocking brightness from the street make me realized of its beauty, without being aware of it.

Title_ Ruin light

The poorest and frighten space can be peaceful and brilliant just with the divine natural Light.

TADAO ANDO

Su arquitectura se basa en la construcción de formas geométricas sencillas, que con el buen uso de la luz y los adecuados materiales crea espacios especiales, mostrando la máxima simplicidad posible y a la vez toda la complejidad que el arquitecto le ha dado. Una de sus características es el uso del hormigón armado al desnudo, sin ningún tipo de revestimiento, y sus superficies lisas con el objetivo de proyectar la luz, uno de los elementos naturales que más tiene en cuenta.

Su filosofía se basa en el hecho de que cualquier espacio siempre puede ser un lugar de meditación e inspiración, y es lo que trata de otorgar a su arquitectura, muchas veces insistiendo en incorporar la naturaleza en sus construcciones a través de los materiales.

Title_ Confused projection

Photographer_ Ana González

Not defined where outside or inside is. What is real and what is a projection. Where should I look? Confusion, misunderstand spaces. Not knowing where to pay attention to.

Title_ Dance with shadows

Add information_ youtube source

Shadows give new figures that arise from a real object, shadows generate more than the real body. Natural-light is a dance. The shadows the body creates here are an abstraction of the movement the daylight creates during a day. The different shapes light-shadows-reflection of daylight creating within a building on its facade, are illusion and wiles created on a surface, as the shadows this dancer is creating on the canvas

Title_ Light as a code

Photographer_ Ana González

Add information_ Experimentation workshop I

Through point-lights (the windows) these pictures are representing life on this building at night. Lights on the façade create different shapes depending on how the dwellings are occupied. Lights from the distance are creating a code of symbols, it seems to be a way of communication.

After months of seeing the same landscape of lights through my window, I took these photographs of what I was seeing every night. These are some pictures of a sequence taken during a whole night at different hours. Showing how the building is being camouflaged until it disappears in the dark.

Title_ Artificial vs. Natural

Photographer_ Ana González

Add information_ Experimentation workshop II

Just time, two frames taken in the same place with a matter of time in between. Light-colour changes during day. Here there is an opposition between the artificial light coming in, and the natural light going out. In this struggle of lights, artificial is wining natural.

Title_ Footprint

Autor_ Ana González

Photographer_ Ana González

Add information_ Daniel Canogar workshop

Reflections and shadows somehow had become an obsession. How light is able to produce shapes far from reality, by playing with the interaction between a material called light and the surfaces the element randomly place on a space has. Contrast gives information.

Light builds textures, perception is not objective. Simple strips of rubbish bag hanging from the ceiling generate abstract shapes on the wall that can be link with specific shapes. My perception of these shadows is a clear figure, a ballet-shoe. Are the strips placed on purpose or is it just a coincidence?

The directional light produces a magical almost divine feeling of the reflect object. The trick part here is the way the picture is taken. Because of the light and the perspective the main element of the frame is the imaginary and subjective element instead of the real and objective. How light can change feelings, perceptions, atmospheres… at any scale.
