White Out

This multimedia installation allows visitors to enter frozen landscapes where both the position of the individual and their movement in space are diminished. A block of ice combined with marble dust creates a micro-universe that resembles the aforementioned natural phenomenon through the diffusion of visible light. The slow dissolution process is captured by a microscope camera and transmitted and displayed on a screen. The observer can virtually explore and get lost inside the ice cube, where the exchange of particles recreates a vision of the white out. This installation is to challenge the boundaries of our perception of a world made up of physical and mental properties. The observer's interaction with the environment eludes the usual means of perception, creating a new vision of one's place in the world.
