Camera Locus Lattara, 2014

Camera Locus is a display that transforms the experience of a space through the use of a single video projector. Setting up a Camera Locus takes precision and time within the space where it applies. It starts as a drawing practice, drawing each plan accurately. As it comes from a single point of projection it acts as a reversed perspective. The time of observing is also a time for learning. Looking and drawing engages the mind and the body. Researches bring associations that encourage experimentation and manipulation. Day after day a collection of sequences and animations accumulates. The video projection then articulates past and present, outside and inside, images and objects. As the visitor walks around, he creates links which stimulate new ideas.
