Art installation. Work in progress

Representation of the destiny’s revelation at a specific moment.

Ink abstract animation projected on a porcelain womb supported by bronze cat claws.

PROPOSAL  / TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Abstract animation from birth to death simulating ultrasound images (echography) projected on a sculpture of a womb made of *moonstone supported on a replica support of the instrument of torture from the Middle Ages *iron cat’s claws.

Mirror on the illuminated ceiling that reflects on the floor the light of the moon scattered on the water. The animation will be accompanied by a soundscape, a composition of sounds of heartbeat, current of blood flow, breathing and bowel sounds. Speakers inserted in a black iron structure with a concave shape of a womb (inverted, the interior or the other half of the stone belly)
