Juan Navarro Baldeweg talking about what is cultural architecture. He focused his main buildings in how light interacts with the spaces surroundings and the way artificial and natural light interacts with exhibition spaces. ( Museo de Altamira)

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

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.

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.
