COPPER ROOM
4 screens, 4 video projectors, 4 synchronized DVD players and 4 speakers

The video installation consists in four video projections what can be seen at the same time. The four video-projections have been edited separately, even though they are synchronized when there are projections of the horizon. The images of each video projection are completed through the position of the other screens. [see scheme below]

The intermittent line of the horizon divides and unifies at the same time two empty spaces. The convex space of the copper-mine and the concave space of the universe. These two void spaces represent two systems of knowledge, which aren’t still reconciled.

The first screen and the second screen shows the convex space of the mine and the ghost town of Chuquicamata. These places represented the internal knowledge, the individual memory and the intimate and subjective consciousness of time.

The second screen and the third screen shows the desert and the observatory. They are the systematised knowledge and "objectified" by science and history. Alma Project addresses the incapacity of the individual to orient him/herself in the world that surrounds him/her.
