Casa (House), 2000 multimedia/interactive installation Municipalidad de Miraflores, Lima (© José Carlos Martinat.) |
Casa rescues an inhabited space that has been associated with my family's history for 70 years. My grandfather lived in this space from childhood. He grew up and then formed a family there, converting the building afterwards into his workshop. I lived a few meters away during my childhood. This project was done in that same house and was divided into two wings: Wing 1: This wing was the starting point of the installation, an obscure interior containing 65 colored pictures, which included individual and serial images forming a route. One then confronts a closed door, which yet allows one to see inside the room behind it, in which there is a TV set placed so that the viewer cannot watch the images it broadcasts, but can hear two audio streams: one from the TV (a soap opera) and the other from the environment (the sound of crying).
