Video installation, block of ice combined with marble dust on metal base.
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.
