Sala expositiva, La coleccionista de luces 2012

Editor: This is Francis Naranjo's "Sala expositiva, La coleccionista de luces" from 2012, an installation piece using light. It feels very... cosmic, like walking into a nebula. What do you make of it? Curator: Oh, it's pure atmosphere, isn’t it? I feel like I’m stepping into someone’s dream of electric circuitry. There’s a real sense of wonder in the way Naranjo plays with light and shadow, almost like trying to catch the wind. What does "La coleccionista de luces" - The Collector of Lights - evoke for you? Editor: That title… it suggests a deliberate act, a gathering. It makes me think about how we're constantly collecting experiences, little flickers of light that make up our memories. Are those framed works further down the gallery meant to play with that concept, too? Curator: Absolutely! Notice how they recede into the background, almost secondary to the dance of light itself. To me, the geometric laser light reminds me of the Light and Space movement. Ephemeral art; constantly shifting, changing. It's a celebration of perception, don't you think? Editor: I do. I didn't notice at first but the patterns formed from light appear also at ground level as the artist probably intended to extend and mirror this effect, an interesting and complete environmental art installation! I hadn't considered that link to perception so explicitly. It's a good point. Curator: I find that really charming – its apparent simplicity hides real layers. It’s like a visual poem that needs time to unfurl. Thank you for walking me through your thought process! Editor: And thank you! It's fascinating to see how an art piece like this speaks differently depending on perspective. I had so much fun.
