Maya
Sala Mare Nostrum Málaga 2018
Performed installation, video projection, papersculpture, sound; Spain 2012 and 2013
MAYA is an audiovisual installation which can be performed in real time together with Jose Vertedor. A mapped video is projected on a net-like paper structure, creating a 3-Dimensional space behind the structure through projections of light on the walls of the room. The video responds to the sound, which can be performed in real time. In Indian philosophy, Maya is that what exists but constantly changes, an illusion of the senses. Maya relates here to the illusory net of perception and phenomena in the world through our senses. It draws a tension between real and unreal space. The body becomes an important instrument in the exploration of visual and physical space, which are on the limits of reality, creating a virtual illusory space through light.
