Pablo Valbuena.

Last week in class we were introduced to the work of Spanish artist, Pablo Valbuena. His work was really impressive and something that I hadn't seen before. I decided to look a bit further into it and into Valbuena's practise.
Valbuena specialises in projection mapping, where light is calculatedly projected onto architecture or sculpture and the projection is adapted to fit a specific surface; the forms are augmented with light.


His projects deal with the idea of extending physical space with perception:   "I am interested in using light as a physical material, suitable for building space like concrete or bricks. I use video projection with perspective and anamorphosis techniques to build ‘perceptual extensions’ of the actual physical space, extending the limits of what is physically real to what is perceptually real."

Here are some images from Valbuena's work Quadratura.

Quadratura probably stood out most to me of all of Valbuena's works that I looked at. It really struck a chord with me visually, and I love how atmospheric it is, even just in the photographs; I can only imagine what it would be like to see the installation.
I'm interested in the way that Valbuena articulates architecture, and the way that he explores the perception of space.
I think I want the panoramic image that I create to explore this perception too, by involving simulated architectural elements.
