Exhibition by Luis Macías
The spectral mountain
About the exhibition:
The Spectral Mountain is an immersive installation that invites the viewer to immerse themselves in a constantly changing and transforming landscape. Through ten 360º panoramic images taken in the Catalan Pyrenees, the installation creates a unique sensory experience, where nature and light merge.
Using ten projectors arranged in series, the images are projected onto a circular surface, revealing a mountainous landscape that oscillates and flickers. This landscape is not presented as a static image, but rather it varies unpredictably, altering its colors, textures, and materials in a play between the physical and the spectral.
Through these fluctuations, the tensions between real nature and cinematic interpretation are revealed, challenging the viewer’s perception of what is static and what is ephemeral.
The image forming the silhouette of a mountain deconstructs into spectral matter.
