How can the eyes touch? How can the ears see? How can the skin hear? Guided by these questions, linked to the ecosystems of relational perception, Leticia Skrycky intends to create a place for a peripheral and vibrating gaze. Las Lamparas is an invitation to a state of open attention to the visible and the invisible. An electric choreography where sound moves light, and light has a sound, heating up all around it. Light like an electric fire seeking to activate a primordial state of observation, like the one we feel when watching fire.
Las Lámparas invites us in, as a cosy place. It opens up, from the inside out, to reveal itself as a space where we can both stay and let go.
