Refractive Composition for Live Video and Sound in Two Parts
Intermedia project with interaction between image, sound and movement. The performance is presented as a result of multiple experiences with refraction, in which chance is essential in the relationship between the process and its presentation, between structures of collaboration and creation. As a whole, the project takes on as fundamental references the American composer John Cage and Eastern Philosophy, as well as the famous Fluxus movement, responsible for a revolution in contemporary art in the second half of the 20th century.
