Calama's dawn

Live video installation made during an artist residency at Geumcheon Art Space, in Seoul, South Korea.

This live projection showed the sun rise in Calama, Chile, where my mother lives. It was screened during 2 hours every day along the exhibition period, showing the exact moment when the sun rises for Chile, which is the exact moment when the sun sets in Korea ( 6:19 am Chilean time and 6:19 pm Korean time).

Given mother and child are related by strong biological bonds and being in the opposites parts of the world, I shared physical and emotive moments (like a sunrise or a sunset) in a parallel temporal and ubiquitous dimension generated by contemporary forms of communications.
