description

The installation "off - on light" forms part of the exhibition "art in progress I" in the Cultural Center San Martin and has been created site-specifically for one of the exhibition halls named "just like a bright center". One of the Center's ceiling-inlaid lighting devices has been photographed when it was switched on and then those slide images are projected in darkness upon the same device with the same point of view. This way the now switched off lighting device is being "switched on" by the light of a homemade projector which projects the image of the device's switched-on condition, both images superposing and coinciding exactly.
