Tell us about the professor.

The professor is tela, cool. He lets us be who we are; lets our talent flow so that we are expressed in the module, so that we make ourselves known.

The 4th Contemporary Art Week is perhaps a rare concept, maybe some people don’t understand it, but you, what have you been able to capture of that concept?

The truth is that I don’t understand it much, but it is making public what art is.

There are different types of art. And I believe there are still more arts. There aren’t just seven, there could be more.

KEVIN CORTÉS FUENTES (18 years old) La Chimba Scientific Humanist Public School, Antofagasta Workshop The Magic Tent, by Roberto Huarcaya (Peru) Our workshop is about photography, with Professor Roberto Huarcaya, and what we have been doing these four days is inserting ourselves into a pinhole (stenopeic camera) that on one end has an opening that is covered. Where we point, an image is projected. For example, if I point over there and the professor is there, inside there is a white screen with the opposite side and his image is projected. Later when we have the projected image, everything self-sensitive, it comes out in the negative. And during these four days we have been doing all types of revelations.

The other day we went to the beach where the military church is (Our Lady of Carmen Military Chapel) and for example, you can see the cross of the church; there is the Virgin. I don’t know what else I can say.

Could you comment more on the work?

Since the paper is inside, it is sensitive, it is exposed to the light.

How did you achieve it?

I am going to explain these two images here. Yesterday after lunch when we arrived here, they had the brilliant idea of exposing the photosensitive paper, one in the shade, another in the sun, and another between the sun and the shade, placing objects, and here in this image, a glass was superimposed directly in the sun. In more than five minutes, the glass was marked. I don’t know if you can see it well.

In this other one we have here, the guys placed stones; Joan put JP. It was exposed for more or less time, but there is a difference in colours more than anything.

Tell us about what has caught your attention the most.

What has caught my attention the most is seeing the camera. What is outside, when we insert ourselves into a camera, is the representation of a tent. Inserting ourselves and being able to project the image and at the same time reveal it. It has been a very attractive process, because I didn’t know it. Neither did I know that 93
