The ensemble follows the evolution of natural light, the position of the sun, the passing of the clouds, etc. at all times. It also captures the presence and movements of the spectators (through the variations in light intensity and the shadows they cause). In this way, the evolution of natural light and the spectators’ movements form the sonorous rhythm of the sculptural ensemble. The moment of maximum expressive intensity of the piece occurs at dusk when the power of the sonority increases and becomes deeper. The spectator can walk freely among the group of sculptures, achieving a reciprocal interaction with the object, as it will emit a succession of sound rhythms marked by people’s movements and the solar cycle from day to night. Artist: José Antonio Orts He was born in Meliana (l’Horta Norte – Market Gardens to the North) in 1955. He is a composer, painter and sculptor. He lives and works in Berlin as an artist in residence at the prestigious Berliner Kunstlerprogramm D.A.A.D. Situated in a postminimalist territory, both formally and sonically, this multifaceted creator has managed to make some of his work known in important entities in Europe and America. His installations are built using electronic components, iron wire and cells that are sensitive to changes in the environment. Location Audio - Guide Tu navegador no soporta audio
