These series of works are placed near windows through which the sun shines directly at a particular moment of the day, activating them by shining onto a concealed colored tissue on their backsides. The light then reflects itself onto a contrasting shadowed wall, projecting an intense luminous puddle.
Here, the unexpected and, at first, incomprehensable phenomenum is magnified by its juxtaposition with an apparently common element.
It is both a very particular aesthetic experience based on luck (which you may or may not witness depending on the weather or time) as well as a reflection on what we usually consider necessary as conditions for something to be worthy of interest.
