Dancing Light, Dancing Hand, 2024

An installation of 40 pieces that challenges the gaze and explores the relationship between light, gesture, and perception. In this work, light and hand intertwine in a play where movement becomes a stroke and the stroke becomes an image. This abstract act of drawing with light invites reflection on the creation of images and their nature, constructing a visual grammar where chance plays a central role. Light, in its path, leaves traces on photosensitive surfaces, while the hand imitates its flow, as if trying to capture the intangible. It is a process that is simultaneously free and precise, where the gesture becomes an extension of the light itself. The viewer is challenged to find the difference between both languages. Some images have been created with light, others with the stroke of the hand, but the support and materiality become blurred, generating an illusion in which what is made by light and what is made by the gesture seem indistinguishable. Dancing Light, Dancing Hand tests the gaze, inviting it to stop, compare, and question: is the image the result of light or of the hand that inscribes it? Where does one end and the other begin? Through this interaction, the work expands the limits of perception, blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction, control and spontaneity. The image is not only constructed in the gesture and the light but also in the attention of the viewer, in their capacity to observe and discover.
