Encounters
Part of BigArtTO, a city-wide public art celebration featuring free temporary public artworks projected onto local buildings and landmarks. This event is a City of Toronto collaboration with OCAD University and AVA Animation & Visual Arts Inc.
This video-art, Encuentros/Encounters, explores the theme of connectivity and highlights the importance of nature. In this time, when the pandemic is making us examine what is happening with our planet, it is important to reflect on the connections within the natural world. Two organic kaleidoscopic worlds encounter each other, creating beautiful connections for the spectator. The symmetrical composition is reflected by its counterpart mirrored upside-down and joined in the middle of the screen. A sense of surreality permeates through different scenes and emotions. Two worlds encounter a third, which is the world of the spectator. The hypnotic sounds and the music drowns you deeper and deeper until the end when the spell breaks.
