Paisal - multichannel video installation

PAisal - MULTICHANNEL VIDEO INSTALLATION www.luchosoldevilla.com

CONCEPT PAISAL = Paisaje Social ( Social Landscape) To look at the social landscape is to look at the way of organizing and experiencing the territory; a way of comprehension and appropriation of the geographical space. Landscapes along which we walk and that we have constructed, landscapes that reflects a strong convergence of processes and cultural meanings. The landscape as a social portrait of our habitat.

The video installation Paisal is a journey through different views and locations; these social landscapes are being transformed and, as they do, so does the perspective of the viewer in the space.

The installation will give the viewers a 180º panoramic perspective through displaying images to their left and right as well as one in front of them, giving them the feeling of looking at a scene in constant change, motion, and transformation. The images displayed are not independent from each other but have been thought out so they make sense within the perspective of the space, generating the feeling of the profoundness, horizon, and of motion. Three cameras were used simultaneously for recording the 180º panorama, also some pohotgraphic compositions (like above) were used. The multichannel audio reinforce this idea of an atmospheric panorama and recreates the auditory sensation of motion.
