THREE MOONS – Augmented Paintings Installation

An ode to the skies.
The seminal, essential light of a sun reveals the topography of three astres. Depht. Mountains, cavities, canyons, craters and plains reveal, to disapear in the night again. At every new revolution, the three paintings augmented by the video projection reflect the light in the gallery space.
In the center of this room lay the rests of a technoshamanic rite. An act of gratitude to the earth for the multitude of rocks, minerals, cristals that humanity extracts from her to assemble our new technologic tools (computers, phones, tv, screens, beamers…). An occasion to recognize the origins of these resources by giving love and gratitude to our mother earth, as our ancestors used to do.
A Motherboard (base of a computer) symbol of the digital technology is layed on the ground as an offering. The floor (the earth) is poured with love symbols (honey, rose petals, rose water).
