About the work
Feral Lights | Luces Salvajes
Installation
Between shadows or during the darkness of night, the flashes of a set of beacons are no different from a family of fireflies. Feral Lights proposes to build a field of road beacons, elements that when removed from their usual context and in darkness enable new interpretations, relating human activity with the territory and the planet through such an iconic and global object. In this way, the installation invites the viewer to a stage full of lights that seem out of control, erratic and as unpredictable as any feral organism.
