A technological reinterpretation of the Fantasmagoria shadow-play from the XVIIIth century. It is presented as an automated shadow theater composed of a logistical platform robot that continuously rearranges 3D-printed sculptures and projects their shadows. The piece is inspired by new types of logistical centers and ''dark factories,'' fully automated spaces that operate in complete darkness, dramatizing our relation with overproduction, job replacement through automation, and new time/spaces brought about by our consumption habits.
An installation based on photomontage that superimposes two eras both in pictorial style and in its production technique. The image is formed from accumulating fragments of paintings and photographs before being finalized in photogravure. The source paintings are landscapes from 18th-century Romantic paintings, and the photographs belong to the “urban exploration” movement of collecting and sharing contemporary images of industrial remains and war ruins. These phantasmagorical assemblages are combined as a continuous loop projected by an automated scrolling mechanism.
