Community Project

Matinee De Sombras

The main objective is to create a shadow theater, an important antecedent in the invention of cinema, where the sun projects a scene, every morning, on a flat surface inside the school. I am interested in observing the behavior of light, and its capacity in the representative elaboration of imaginary scenes.

We aim to take the sun as a matter and source of light to project our stories and stories based on basic principles of optics, and understand its possibilities to give it a visual-narrative use that serves as a tool to create and share our own stories.
