My art work is focused for about ten years on kinetic architecture illumination.

On the occassion of the coming Madrid Abierto 2007 here the sketch of my work‚ Short circuit/Cortocircuito in consideration of the `Palacio de Comunicaciones´.

THE IDEA:

The architecture of the Palacio de Comunicaciones stands in opposite to the strength of the architectures I normally work with. In case of this ninty years old excessive construction by Antonio Palacios, I try to do a work in opposite to my ‚dissolving‘ light installations in high-rise buildings (like for example the LUFTHANSA headquarters in Cologne, the `Technisches Rathaus‘ in Frankfurt or the IDUNA NOVA building in Münster). By a synchronized lightning inside each room of the Palacio de Comunicaciones, I will generate a junction of all spaces. The excessive aesthetics facade of this neo baroque building with its art deco elements will appear in a visual solve of the convoluted interior.

THE METHOD:

Especially controlled light sources (40x30x30 cm) will be positioned in each room of the Palacio de Comunicaciones. By an parallel transmitted electronic pulse all light sources inside the building do a short blink. The blinking is random controlled and can be realized trough the windows from outside as an indirect lighting.
