The video installation consists in three video projections what can be seen at the same time. The three 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.
An intermittent horizontal line defines the border between the sky and
the desert. This horizon divides and unifies two empty spaces at the same
time. The convex space of the copper-mine and the concave space of the
universe represent two systems of knowledge, which aren’t yet reconciled.
The first one, the convex space of the mine, represented the internal
knowledge, the individual memory and the intimate and subjective consciousness
of time.
The second and the third screens, represented by the concave space of
the cosmos are the systemised and “objectified” knowledge
by science and history.
Even though we have managed to surround us with multiple-sided cosmic
interfaces, we haven’t catched up yet with an intimate comprehension
of the proper existence and consequently there is no reconciliation with
proper extinction.
Alma Project is a representation of disorientation outlining the empty
spaces, which rationalism doesn’t succeed to calculate. Alma Project
addresses the incapacity of the individual to orient him/herself in the
world that surrounds him/her.
