KARINA PEISAJOVICH | Painting, Light, & Shadow
This piece was a version of Foam [Espuma] and I wanted to work with light as shadow, so I thought to work with a very, very low intensity of light. Lights were working at 10%. Physicists explain that darkness doesn't exist, that there are many levels of darkness, so I wanted to try to work with the darkness. It was a light projection in blue—very, very, very low intensity—so when you went into the space it was very difficult to see in the beginning. You take time until your eyes got adapted to the space and to the light.

And I think that it was a little about that. I wanted to make a piece where you almost see. I wanted to see how much you see.
This was working also with the light console and what happened is that the light became like fog, because it was projected onto a curved wall that was painted in gray, so the light seemed to be in the middle between the viewer and the background.
