AMAZÔNIA (Projecting on Black) is composed of 14 unedited high-definition, single-direction videos of sunrises and sunsets in the Amazon region. Filmed during both wet and dry seasons, the installation reveals the invisible through sound and light. The absence of humans, or any hint of their accoutrements on site leads the viewer back in time. One could consider 30,000 years ago pre-historic cave paintings at Chauvet a first exhibition—a time preserved in the dark. Projecting on Black looks for the purity of darkness and light, the subtle perception and conservation of passing time and euphoric nature in the AMAZON.
